How sweet it is to deep into the night    Let percolate your dreams in dripping beads Of glowingly inebriate delight    Distilled from gurgling rills of amber meads, And then in threads of starlight finely spun—      All witched by frozen moonlight, pitched in black— Suspend your limbs (made heavy by the run    Of daily cares), and lay relaxed and slack Till, saturate with drowsiness, and high    Within a space of jewels and gems and jet, You fall into the black hole's empty eye,    And all the world and all yourself forget. How sweet it is to all your life forsake, Forgetting you had ever been awake. O.O

A Nocturne
How sweet it is to deep into the night    Let percolate your dreams in dripping beads Of glowingly inebriate delight    Distilled from gurgling rills of amber meads, And then in threads of starlight finely spun—      All witched by frozen moonlight, pitched in black— Suspend your limbs (made heavy by the run    Of daily cares), and lay relaxed and slack Till, saturate with drowsiness, and high    Within a space of jewels and gems and jet, You fall into the black hole's empty eye,    And all the world and all yourself forget. How sweet it is to all your life forsake, Forgetting you had ever been awake. O.O
