Sleep
Oh childish sleep
How you taunt, with leaden weights, these eyes;
Your fair promises, false as Jacob and his sheepskin -
Deceptive - of rest to this
My weary soul
Oh fickle sleep
With Delilah's constancy you flit,
Oh! so graceful, between you lovers with
Caresses and wining smiles - will you not
Remedy my loneliness
This cold night?
Oh cruel sleep,
Denying your company, salatious visitations to all but
the most needy, leaving a scent - calling cared
Dropped carelessly on a
Cold pillow
Oh honest coffee!
A students delight, oft warm and kindly
Companion through the night -
Soft kisses, quench the sting of dear sleeps flight.
