Night creeps around my feet; <br />The cares of day abate. <br />The chores that have been left undone <br />For another day can wait. <br /> <br />The burdens of a hurried day <br />Slip gently from my mind. <br />Sleep reaches out and welcomes me <br />Across the gulf of time.<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-creeps-2/
