AS SLEEP IS, by                    
First Line: As sleep is to a day
Last Line: A tune—and then, to smile.
Subject(s): Day; Life; Love; Love - Nature Of; Sleep


As sleep is to a day,
So love is to a life;
A haven from harangue,
A resting time from strife;
A sweet forgetfulness,
A chance to dream awhile,
To say a prayer; or hum
A tune—and then, to smile.
