THE STAIRWAY by RICHARD WATSON GILDER

First Line: BY THIS STAIRWAY NARROW, STEEP
Last Line: SLEEP WELL, SWEET FRIEND, SLEEP WELL, DREAM DEEP!
Subject(s): SLEEP;
BY this stairway narrow, steep,
Thou shalt climb from song to sleep;
From sleep to dream and song once more; --
Sleep well, sweet friend, sleep well, dream deep!
