I love to watch you sleep, how at peace you are.
For only a brief stay from toil.
Perhaps you dream of taming lions or basking in your garden ? Or perhaps making love to your bride ?
I pray for one brief moment dream of being a man of sated need.
No more demand from ruler or man.
A free man of peace.
You will wake at tomorrow’s dawn to once more beat the workers class plowshares.
I love to watch you sleep.
