SLEEP (2) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BLIND ART THOU AS THY MOTHER NIGHT
Last Line: AND DREAM-IMAGINED UTTERANCE.
Subject(s): SLEEP;
BLIND art thou as thy mother Night,
And as thy sister Silence dumb;
But naught of soothing sound or sight
Doth unto mortals come
So tender as thy fancied glance
And dream-imagined utterance.
