Turning as I sleep, I take
Across my eyes the silent words
Sung by our old sun's golden birds--
They hope I will awake.
Learning, I have longed to shake
An apple from the sacred tree
That sings sleep into unity--
Before my true day-break:
Yearning, at the end, to make
My entrance in a gown of light
Woven of day, woven of night--
Hearing, at last, "Awake!"

Poem from the Christian Century: As I sleep
This caught my eye and then my soul.
