Then yield to Night, their sudden conqueror.

From pole to pole the shadow of the world

Creeps over heaven, till itself is lit

By the very many stars that wake in it:

Sleep, like a messenger of great import,

Lays quiet and compelling hands athwart

The easy idlenesses of my mind.

—There is a breeze above me, and around:

There is a fire before me, and behind:

But Sleep doth hold me, and I hear no sound.
