Sleep (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening)

The evening hangs beneath the moon

A silver thread on darkened dune

With closing eyes and resting head

I know that sleep is coming soonUpon my pillow, safe in bed

A thousand pictures fill my head

I cannot sleep my minds a flight

And yet my limbs seem made of leadIf there are noises in the night

A frighting shadow, flickering light

Then I surrender unto sleepWhere clouds of dreams give second sightWhat dreams may come both dark and deepOf flying wings and soaring leapAs I surrender unto sleep

As I surrender unto sleep
