Gentle sleep, mine eye-lids close

Listen in the reader

Gentle sleep, mine eye-lids close, Hush my mind to soft repose; All my troubled passions ease, With enchanting visions please. When fell care and noisy strife May disturb my peaceful life; When with dire disease opprest, Anguish and horror fill my breast.
