Sleep, sleep today, tormenting cares <br />Of earth and folly born! <br />Ye shall not dim the light that streams <br />From this celestial morn. <br />Tomorrow will be time enough <br />To feel your harsh control; <br />Ye shall not violate this day, <br />The sabbath of my soul. <br />Sleep, sleep for ever, guilty thoughts! <br />Let fires of vengeance die; <br />And, purged from sin, may I behold <br />A God of purity!<br /><br />Anna Laetitia Barbauld<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tormenting-cares/
