Won't you help support DayPoems? SleepBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905I bless the power of this charmed summer night, I bless its magic and its mystery, Which in ecstatic visions brings to me The worshiped presence of my soul's delight. Mine eyes are sealed, but on my clearer sight Her heaven-bright features shine more radiantly, Her sweet voice with a richer melody Enchants the dark, more luminous than light. I miss the sense of daylight's haunting ills, Bathed in this lambent tide of sleep and love; I only see one dazzling image beam, Shrined in a rosy universe of dream, Fairer than Dian bending tranced above The sleeping shepherd on the Latmian hills.
