Sleep SSAATTBB - Digital Sheet Music

'Sleep' is a beautiful setting of a poem by Marietta Holley. It has sumptuous and rich harmony which evokes the text brilliantly. This is a very sensuous poem, describing falling to sleep and perhaps entering the dream world. In stage 2 of the sleep cycle, the body begins to prepare for deep sleep and the heart rate slows. This is the second movement from Edmund's 'Sleep Cycle' - a 25 minute 7 movement piece. Duration: 3'00".Come to me soft-eyed sleep,With your ermine sandalled feet;Press the pain from my troubled browWith your kisses cool and sweet;Lull me with slumbrous song,Song of your clime, the blest,While on my heavy eyelidsYour dewy fingers rest.Come with your native flowers,Heartsease and lotus bloom,Enwrap my weary sensesWith the cloud of their perfume;For the whispers of thought tire me,Their constant, dull repeat,Like low waves throbbing, sobbing,With endless, endless beat.Marietta Holley, 1836-1926

Come to me soft-eyed sleep,
With your ermine sandalled feet;
Press the pain from my troubled brow
With your kisses cool and sweet;
Lull me with slumbrous song,
Song of your clime, the blest,
While on my heavy eyelids
Your dewy fingers rest.

Come with your native flowers,
Heartsease and lotus bloom,
Enwrap my weary senses
With the cloud of their perfume;
For the whispers of thought tire me,
Their constant, dull repeat,
Like low waves throbbing, sobbing,
With endless, endless beat.

Marietta Holley, 1836-1926.
