--Sleep--
I can remember a time
When a quarter and a dime
Could buy me happiness.
No more.
I can remember a time
When a holy hymn-book's rhyme
Could find me happiness.
No more.
I can remember a face
The sight of which, in any place
Would bring me happiness.
No more.
I can remember a night
When my dreams would make life right.
And give me happiness.
No more.
The doctors give me things
To take away my wings
I do not take their pills, though I'm a mess
They might help me sleep.
