O, THAT MY MUSE COULD TELL, by                    
First Line: When roused from sleep at night
Last Line: When dawns the morning light!
Subject(s): Dreams; Night; Sleep; Nightmares; Bedtime


When roused from sleep at night,
Oft as I lie awake
My restless spirit doth commune
With waters of the lake.

Stirred by the breezes soft,
Waves lap the rocky shore
And as they whisper to my soul
I fall asleep once more.

Dreaming while half awake,
Tales of forgotten lore
Are lost again within the deep
Untold forevermore.

O, that my muse could tell
Those secrets of the night
That lie in depths beneath the waves
When dawns the morning light!
