My precious sleep why do you evade me
When soon the morning star will brightly shine in the east?
My precious sleep you must come back to me
If only for a while I indeed must sleep
A soft pillow with heavy eyes I have
Yet sleep is far beyond my mind's demands
Rather thoughts fade in and out forever
Like the changing ocean tides chase the Moon
The darkness of the night does cover all
A tranquil veil that softens every wall
Not a sound or peep can be heard tonight
Silence sings her song soothingly, I sigh
