Sleep

by Mathilde Blind

Love-cradling Night, lit by the lucent moon,
Most pitiful and mother-hearted Night!
Blest armistice in life's tumultuous fight,

Alone

by Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been

As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.

Of a most stormy life- was drawn
