Sleep is a spirit who beside us sits	A
Or through our frames like some dim glamour flits	A
From out her form a pearly light is shed	B
As from a lily in a lily bed	B
A firefly's gleam Her face is pale as stone	C
And languid as a cloud that drifts alone	C
In starry heav'n And her diaphanous feet	D
Are easy as the dew or opaline heat	D
Of summer	E
	-
Lo with ears aurora pink	F
As Dawn's she leans and listens on the brink	F
Of being dark with dreadfulness and doubt	G
Wherein vague lights and shadows move about	G
And palpitations beat like some huge heart	H
Of Earth the surging pulse of which we're part	H
	-
One hand that hollows her divining eyes	A
Glows like the curved moon over twilight skies	A
And with her gaze she fathoms life and death	I
Gulfs where man's conscience like a restless breath	I
Of wind goes wand'ring whispering low of things	A
The irremediable where sorrow clings	A
	-
Around her limbs a veil of woven mist	J
Wavers and turns from fibered amethyst	J
To textured crystal through which symboled bars	A
Of silver burn and cabalistic stars	A
Of nebulous gold	K
	-
Shrouding her feet and hair	L
Within this woof fantastic everywhere	L
Dreams come and go the instant images	A
Of things she sees and thinks realities	A
Shadows with which her heart and fancy swarm	M
	-
That in the veil take momentary form	M
Now picturing heaven in celestial fire	E
And now the hell of every soul's desire	E
Hinting at worlds God wraps in mystery	N
Beyond the world we know and touch and see	N
