Goodnight

Goodnight sweet world, I go to rest my head
The sun’s set, moon risen, and I in bed
Wait in the stillness, the quiet of eve
Enjoying my shuteye, this short reprieve
The cool darkness is calling me to sleep
And for this bizarre world I shall not weep
For I have put my faith in Providence,
And if I do not awake with the dawn
Then surely that is sufficient evidence
That my departure time has come anon
But with this land I shall rest tonight
And rise again with morning’s light
