Serenade

Sleep, dearest, sleep ! 
The silver moon is shining 
Over the throbbing sea, 
The beating, passionate sea, 
Her virgin brow inclining, 
As I incline o'er thee ! 
Sleep ! sleep ! 

Sleep, dearest, sleep ! 
The world at peace is lying 
Only the night-winds free, 
The passionate night-winds free, 
Around thy door are sighing, 
As I sigh for thee ! 
Sleep ! sleep !

by Amelia (Ann) Blandford Edwards (1831-1892) , "Another serenade"
