Sleep oh sleep, where are thou now My mind bedimmed with unbearable agony you brought upon me because Of your absent every night
I lost total control of my mind Endlessly Thinking of the irrelevant,
I resolved to rest in eternal peace At time, waiting no more for the rest you renders
My spirit long for calmness, but wearisome Nights allocated to me instead
The day is my only Friend The Hours of the Night bring me no rest I so desired
The darkness of the night afflicts my heart with its gloominess, The other Beautiful side of life not revealing
I dread the nightingale Bird-whistles when the night falls—the silent of mid-night
The man next door do not realise the unspeakable pain of my soul
Deep sleep fell upon him, leaving his Fatigue self in a state of bliss
When my head is down in the morning, Burden by the blood that over flow to it every night,
He walks pass me often strong and cheerful For the health he derives from sleep
Showing me there is no hope for my dear Life without the rest sleep award at night
One time perhaps in a leap-year when he Is up to ease himself from the liquid In his bladder and heard the bitterness Of my existence, he would shake his head And misinterpret it for having too much Goof time
Regarding me in such a way in the morning I made up my mind to unconcealed the emotional torture Bottled up inside of me all these years
However, the undue manifestation of wrinkles On my face caused by lack of sleep that Could convey my emotional pain even to the enfant for Sympathy, has failed to convince him
Very adamant, he is still envying me for the Sound he heard that night
