To sleep! to sleep! The long bright day is done,
And darkness rises from the fallen sun.
To sleep! to sleep!
Whate’er thy joys, they vanish with the day;
Whate’er thy griefs, in sleep they fade away.
To sleep! to sleep!
Sleep, mournful heart, and let the past be past!
Sleep, happy soul! all life will sleep at last.
To sleep! to sleep!
Alfred Tennyson, The Foresters: Robin Hood and Maid Marian

My candle burns at both ends;    It will not last the night;But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—    It gives a lovely light! — Edna St. Vincent Millay
