The battle has died down
I arrived at this bed with a frown
I lie to slumber in this nightly dress
I cower in this silken mattress
As my eyes of umber are weeping hidden under my palms
Sweeping the tears while humming my psalms
The throbbing in my head is louder than of my heart
Or to pierce it with a dart
So, fully conscious mind, this rest i plead from you
Rather than to bind this pain that you grew
And by these pills
Shall it rid me of these chills?
Yes! And by the minute, the dull dusk darkened
Alas, there is no further need to bargain
Opening the door for the long-awaited drowse
With the easy eyebrows
Before closing the lights
In this long night
