Just before my eyes fall sleep
I linger much on you my sweet.
How deeply grained
Etched tenderly on my heart
A gentle smile does beam my face.
But this and this alone I cannot bare
To know you sleep with a forlorn gown.
I must at once share your bed
But settle I must to my post right here.
O for distance that terrible foe
Will thee not shorten to be my friend.
That I may comfort and fight her fears!
Just before my eyes fall sleep
I linger much on you my sweet.
K.Oni
