THE WANDERER'S NIGHT SONG by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: THOU, WHO HEAVEN'S ANGEL ART
Last Line: COME, OH COME, TO CALM MY BREAST.
Subject(s): SLEEP;
THOU, who Heaven's angel art,
Thou, who pain and sorrow stillest,
And the doubly mournful heart
With a double comfort fillest!
Ah, what weary days I number!
Why this sad or gay unrest?
Sweetest slumber
Come, oh come, to calm my breast.
