Poem by James Joyce


Chamber Music. 34. Sleep Now, O Sleep Now


Sleep now, O sleep now,
    O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying “Sleep now”
    Is heard in my heart.

The voice of the winter
    Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
    Is crying “Sleep no more.”

My kiss will give peace now
    And quiet to your heart—
Sleep on in peace now,
    O you unquiet heart! 



James Joyce
