James Joyce...
Sleep now, O sleep now,
   O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying 'Sleep now'
   Is heard in my heart.
The voice of the winter
   Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
   Is crying "Sleep no more'.
My kiss will give peace now
   And quiet to your heart-
Sleep on in peace now,
   O you inquiet heart!
