Sleep Well Tonight Poem by Valerie Dohren
Sleep Well Tonight
Be still, O world, sleep well tonight
May all your dreams take gentle flight
Ascending heav`nly stairs sublime
Through all the corridors of time
To drift on lofty shimm`ring clouds
Enwrapped in bright celestial shrouds
Beyond the earth in regions fair
Without a thought, without a care
Upon a journey set in space
Another time, another place
Above the land, above the sea
There yet to find tranquillity
In magic worlds your mind to dwell
`Pon fantasies and dreams that tell
Of hopes, unmet, behind closed doors
And visions seen on distant shores
With pictures painted in the sky
Upon the wings of doves to fly
Illusions grand and heaven sent
Enchanting and magnificent
(Phantoms dance in shadowed places
Bright with luminescent faces
Floating through the mind, encaptured,
There with images enraptured)
Be still, O world, sleep well, sleep sound
May all your dreams with peace abound
Then waken softly with the dawn
To greet again a bright new morn`
