Close my willing eyes

La musique de Bart Vanhecke en concert.

O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting with careful fingers and benign
Our gloom-pleas’d eyes, embower’d from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine;
O soothest sleep! if so it please thee, close,
In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes…

Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?

 

uitSonnet to sleep’ en ‘On death’ van John Keats
