To lead me into sleep. Let it be low

Of love and all its smart,
Then sleep, dear, sleep;

IF thou wilt ease thine heart
Of love, and all its smart,-
Then sleep, dear, sleep!
And not a sorrow
... - 4. The Last Man

IF thou wilt ease thine heart
Of love and all its smart,
Then sleep, dear, sleep;

As if they echoed to the fall and rise
Of the capricious breeze; each upward curl
That splashes pearl, mirrors the fairy eyes
... - 7. Wolfram's Dirge
If thou wilt ease thine heart
Of love and all its smart,
Then sleep, dear, sleep;
And not a sorrow
...
