James Joyce: Sleep Now, O Sleep Now
Sleep Now,
O Sleep Now
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying “Sleep now”
Is heard in my heart.
The voice of the winter
Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
Is crying “Sleep no more.”
My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart — –
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
James Joyce
(1882-1941)
