Plea for a Good Night's Rest - Devon Sproule
There are thick stars up above
Where the trees part themselves
Thick dust among many
Corks lined up on the shelf
There are bats in the attic we share
We share
There is smoke to kill mosquitoes
Waiting just above to drink our blood
And gas in the lamp that we light
When the sun goes down
My love wakes shaking with nightmare
And the night air pulls in close around
Come revenant come come ye gentle host
To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts
Lay down your mantle shot through with gold
That we may lie again here in sweet repose
Rest your arms down around your oars now
And hear how the night continues on alive and well
When how rare the bird how still the wind
And we still within it sigh and shift and turn

Fill their glass and leave the rest
Whose teeth get brushed who eat enough
And who know how to treat their friends
How long this night seems with
No sign of a bright dream to guide us toward the day
Guide us toward the day
Come revenant come come ye gentle host
To my patient hip and across our sleeping coasts
Lay down your mantle shot through with gold
That we may lie again here in sweet repose
In sweet
