WHITE ROSES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: No sleep like hers, no rest
Last Line: Till god's good day.
Alternate Author Name(s): Rhys, Ernest Percival
Subject(s): Sleep


No sleep like hers, no rest,
In all the earth to-night:
Upon her whiter breast
Our roses lie so light.

She had no sins to lose,
As some might say;
But calmly keeps her pale repose
Till God's good day.
