Sleep Poem by John May
Sleep
A thousand angels watched him sleep
(His slumbers, ah, were ever deep)
And she, with gazing eyes as they
Approaching softly where he lay
Did ever silent keep
She touch'd his cold and pallor'd clay
And wept (her weary tears were gray)
And as she stood there sad and bleak
She bent to kiss his lifeless cheek
And curs'd the light of day
