The Horrors of Sleep~ By Emily Bronte

The Horrors Of sleep "Sleep brings no joy to me, Remembrance never dies, My soul is given to mistery, And lives in sighs. Sleep brings no rest to me; The shadows of the dead My wakening eyes may never see Surround my bed. Sleep brings no hope to me, In soundest sleep they come, And with their doleful imag'ry Deepen the gloom. Sleep brings no strength to me, No power renewed to brave; I only sail a wilder sea, A darker wave. Sleep brings no friend to me To soothe and aid to bear; They all gaze on,how scornfully, And I despair. Sleep bring no wish to fret My harassed heart beneath; My only wish is to forget In endless sleep of death." (Emily Bronte) The Horrors of Sleep~ By Emily Bronte
