Wakes me, hang blighted round my aching heart:

Oh night, and slumber, be ye visionless,

Dark as the grave, deep as forgetfulness!

Night, thou shalt nurse me, but be sure, good nurse,

While sitting by my bed, that thou art silent;

I will not let thee sing me to my slumbers

With the sweet lullabies of former times,

Nor tell me tales, as other gossips wont,
