Asleep

Sleep a little while , white pearl !
And let me kneel , and let me pray to thee
Asleep
Asleep
And let me call Heaven's blessing on thine eyes
And let me breathe into the happy air
Asleep
Asleep
That doth enfold and touch thee all about
Vows of my slavery, my giving up
sleep a little while, white pearl !
And let me kneel, and let me pray to thee
Asleep
Asleep
That doth enfold and touch thee all about
My sudden adoration, my great love !
sleep a little while, white pearl !
And let me kneel, and let me pray to thee
Asleep
