Ode to Aurora
I envy you your sleep
In recumbent bliss, lain deep
Awaiting the day
When you will be saved
You triumph inactive.
I envy you your sleep
To what task should I seek
To gain the power, to float through the hours
Prick a finger? Taste a fruit?
I envy you your sleep
Absence is the key
Will you teach me this trick,
For my tavern icy thick
So I may sleep in sleet, and still be
Warm within. May I wake in warmth?
