First Line: I heed thee not! Then, sleep, away
Last Line: Too brightly to be sunk in sleep.
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Sleep
I HEED thee not! Then, Sleep, away!
Before the fast approaching morn
Drape all the rainy world in grey,
And rise on me in timely scorn,
I must dream out a waking dream,—
I have a sunny crop to reap,
Of tears that through the darkness gleam
Too brightly to be sunk in sleep.
