SPIRIT OF SLEEP, by                    
First Line: Now up the broad white path of dreams
Last Line: Be borne aloft on wings of prayer.
Subject(s): Dreams; Prayer; Sleep; Soul; Nightmares


Now up the broad white path of dreams,
Through the star-dusted, velvet night,
Where all desire in glory gleams
And all despair becomes delight --
Sleep's spirit bear me gallantly,
Nor fret my soul with earthly care,
But seeking peace so valiantly,
Be borne aloft on wings of prayer.
