Sleep brings no joy to me versuri

Versuri Emily Brontë – Sleep brings no joy to me lyrics

Sleep brings no joy to me,
Remembrance never dies,
My soul is given to misery,
And lives in sighs.

Sleep brings no rest to me;
The shadows of the dead,
My waking eyes may never see,
Surround my bed.

Sleep brings no hope to me,
In soundest sleep they come,
And with their doleful imagery
Deepen the gloom.

Sleep brings no strength to me,
No power renewed to brave;
I only sail a wilder sea,
A darker wave.

Sleep brings no friend to me
To soothe and aid to bear;
They all gaze on how scornfully,
And I despair.

Sleep brings no wish to fret
My harassed heart beneath,
My only wish is to forget
In the sleep of death.
