XXXIV

James Joyce

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!
