With the conscience of one, who believes he has done,

What was really the best, for himself,

He retired into bed, that night, and he fell

Fast asleep, like a saint on a shelf.

It might have been a very short period of time,

Or maybe it might have been long,

When he woke with a buzz like a bee in his ear,

Or the purr of a tom cat's song.

It might be the bizz of a wasp, or the hum,
