The Nobility of 'Sleep'

Through dreams I learnt to live

And in waking how to die

The golden hand of the morning sun

Would pull, tear and rive

Culling my verve, plucking life away

Time spent nether the burning sun

Never seems worth staying awake

 

I have seen the land of roses

Whilst skimming the blue tract

I know how Albion looks

Two hundred metres up

 

Towers that sink into the soil

Transposing themselves as trees

All wonderful things i have seen

Through nightly visions and dreams
