Innocent Sleep

Nancy Campbell

MY little son half woke last night—

A golden-headed rosiness,

Dark-eyed with drowsiness;

Peered for a moment at the candle-light.

So I have seen the daisies sleep

Pink-tipped along a mountain wall,

And hardly stir at all

At the bright dawn—their dreams have been so deep.
