Poems of Paul Verlaine

SLEEP, DARKSOME, DEEP

Gertrude Hall Brownell translation

Sleep, darksome, deep, Doth on me fall: Vain hopes all, sleep, Sleep, yearnings all! Lo, I grow blind! Lo, right and wrong Fade to my mind.... O sorry song! A cradle, I, Rocked in a grave: Speak low, pass by, Silence I crave!
