A poem by Laurence Alma-Tadema

The Sleeper

________________________________________________
Title:     The Sleeper
Author: Laurence Alma-Tadema [More Titles by Alma-Tadema]

There lay a man on clovered ground
Whose life was death, he slept so sound;
A child bent low to watch his eyes--
He smiling waked, and saw the skies.

I know a soul now, fast asleep,
Whose dreams are sad: I hear him weep;
I bend and gaze for pity's sake--
But all in vain; he will not wake.







[The end]
Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Sleeper
