Somnes says
Somnus
fulcrum
fulcrum
Sleep
be with
you
everywhere
If thy
head cannot
be with
thy pillow
put thy
pillow
with thy
head
Enjoy
sleep
in all
ways
and in
all
things
as Lord
Wisdom
begins
with
the pillow
wise men
say
and
Somnes
Build
not
thy
sleep
upon
paper
but
the rock
Speak not
when thy
pillow
dreams
and the
fullness
of thy
sleep
and the
increase
of thy
sleep
shall be
as the
sleep
of shadows
and the
sleep
of shadows
and the
sleep
of the
horizon
Light
not
thy
candle
at
either
end
nor thy lamp
Ask not
wind for
the least
thing
and
make
not
thy bed
and thy
pillow
upon its
day
From
riches
ashes
from
ashes
wonder
from
sleep
all
things
as thou
needest
if thy
skull
be thy
pillow
thou
shalt
not
want
Supplicate
night
and
fill
thy pillow
after
its
manner
Sleep
putteth
away
vanity
and
the
false
dream
Many
are asleep
Few
chosen
As many
as sleep
are not
the dreamer
As many
as dream
do not
know
Sleep
Somnes
says
for thou
knowest
not
when
thy wake
