How long the journey
Twixt night and day
How hard the nightmares
How tough the affray
Only exhaustion
Follows such nights
That are filled with such horrors
And such frightening sights.

Feeble the body
To sleep again fall
None of the previous
Horrors recall
Deep now the sleep
Peaceful the night
Resting this time
No frightful sights.
