He Giveth HiBsyBeloved St^ eep

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

.

Of att the thoughts of (fad that are

Borne inward unto souls afar,

Along the fsahnists music deep,

1<{pw tell me if that any is,

forgift orgrace, surpassing this -

"fiegiveth. his beloved, sleep.1"

..."Sleep soft Beloved!" We sometimes say, But have no tune to charm away
Sad dreams that through, the. eyelids creep But never doleful dream again
Shall breaf^his happy slumber when "Hegiveth. his beloved, sleep."

...lAnd friends, dearfriends-when it shall be

That this low breath, isgonefrom me,

;

And round my bier ye come to weep,

\

:

Let one most loving ofyou all

Say, "%[pt a tear must oer himfall;

^Legiveth. his beloved, sleep."
