To mighty Paris when he found
Sleep upon a golden bed
That first dawn in Helen's arms?
The Winding Stair and Other Poems, 1933. Lullaby
Sleep... Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death...

And the great ages onward roll.
Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul,
While the stars burn, the moons increase,
And the great ages onward roll.
