Sleep on ,and dream of Heaven awhile----- Tho' shut so close thy laughing eyes, Thy rosy lips still wear a smile And move and breathe delicious sighs! Ah ,now soft blushes tinge her cheeks And mantle o'er her neck of snow; Ah,now she murmurs, now she speaks What most I wish--------and fear to know! She starts ,she trembles ,and she weeps! Her fair hands folded on her breast; -------And now ,how like a saint she sleeps! A seraph in the realms of rest! Sleep on secure! A bove control Thy thoughts belong to Heaven and thee; And may the secret of thy soul Remain within its sanctuary! |
