Lullaby of the Soul

Sleep, O weary soul! Sleep in peace now.
Strive no more to reach shores,
Walk no more on paths of yore.
Sleep, lost soul, sleep a while.

Shed your burdens, undo strife,
Many a day you strove to win,
Many a time you fought, to cling
With vigor, or joy, or relentless whim.

Your efforts done; give up, give in,
And while you sleep world will turn,
Flowers will bloom, fires will burn
When once more you are awake
With new hope your flag unfurl.
