AS SLEEP IS by EDNA BUTLER TRICKEY

First Line: AS SLEEP IS TO A DAY
Last Line: A TUNE—AND THEN, TO SMILE.
Subject(s): DAY; LIFE; LOVE; LOVE - NATURE OF; SLEEP;
As sleep is to a day,
So love is to a life;
A haven from harangue,
A resting time from strife;
A sweet forgetfulness,
A chance to dream awhile,
To say a prayer; or hum
A tune—and then, to smile.
