When, like a sleeping child Or a bird in the nest, The day is gathered To the earth's breast ... Hush! ... 'tis the Dream-Wind, Breathing peace, Breathing rest, Out of the Gardens of Sleep in the West. Oh, come to me, wandering Wind of the West! Grey doves of slumber Come hither to rest! ... Hush! ... now the wings cease Below the dim trees ... And the White Rose of Rest Breathes low in the Gardens of Sleep in the West.
