Random Poem of the Day
1Lady, when your lovely head
2Droops to sink among the Dead,
3And the quiet places keep
4You that so divinely sleep;
5Then the dead shall blessèd be
6With a new solemnity,
7For such Beauty, so descending,
8Pledges them that Death is ending.
9Sleep your fill--but when you wake
