The Music of Sleep

Mythological poetry

THE MUSIC OF SLEEP



Zephyr winds bade me follow

To the black coolness of the night

Do bear my souls sum

Call forth the God Apollo

Upon his lyre strum



Pray the voices of nine muses

A lullaby to soothe me

As I open the box of sleep



May the son of Hermes

Lively Pan

Join me in my unconscious travels

Birds song on pipes of reed



Through shadows of Pluto I pass

As I sail into Neptunes blue oceans deep

Hear the wails of the lemuers sorrow

Song of poor Orpheus love and plight

Gently wake me on the morrow
