Close your eyes and go to sleep,
Earth benefits from those who dream,
So let it be.
There's more than you can keep
Collected in at the seams;
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Only so much can seep
Through, and waste serene;
So let it be,
Known that there's more hidden deep
Than the eye can see and believe, so
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
You're more than you seem,
Never run out of steam. You have to
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Let it be.

Experimenting with the villanelle style and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
