IN DARKNESS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: DUMB SILENCE AND HER SIGHTLESS SISTER SLEEP
Last Line: DREAM-VOICES AND AN ECHOING DREAM OF LIGHT.
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;

Dumb silence and her sightless sister sleep
Glide, mistlike, through the deepening vale of night;
Waking, where'er their shadowy garments sweep,
Dream-voices and an echoing dream of light.
