A GOOD NIGHT, by FRANCIS QUARLES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Close now thine eyes, and rest secure Last Line: No sleepe so sweet as thine, no rest so sure. Subject(s): Sleep | |||
Close now thine eyes, and rest secure; Thy Soule is safe enough; thy Body sure; He that loves thee, he that keepes And guards thee, never slumbers, never sleepes. The smiling Conscience in a sleeping breast Has only peace, has only rest: The musicke and the mirth of Kings, Are all but very Discords, when she sings: Then close thine Eyes and rest secure; No Sleepe so sweet as thine, no rest so sure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU'S SWEET TO YO' MAMMY JES DE SAME by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 3 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 22 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE GOING TO SLEEP by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN THE BLUE NAP by WILLIAM MATTHEWS |
