Requesting Morpheus

I want you so, oh Morpheus, to come to me tonight
I need peace and quiet, and a silent, non-dream flight
into a warm, calming place of beautiful, serene abode,
take me please oh Morpheus, till morning do me hold.

I beseech thee, sweet Morpheus, to hold my dreams away,
for they've left me so uneasy, held me in darkness' sway
between the dreaming and reality every single night,
oh I beg of you, dear Morpheus, take away all dreams in sight.

I desire tonight, oh Morpheus, some blessed hours of peace,
hold me soft, hold me warm, I beg on bended knees,
for I've said my prayers, oh please, and for now I yearn
for blessed release from my dreams, oh please to turn

my night of repose into one of quiet, not to toss or turn about,
so in the morning I'll wake well, not feel as if to shout
for heaven to hear oh how, my nerves have been so frayed
oh Morpheus, you'll never know, just how to you I've prayed.

So hear me now, hear me true, know I'm facing fact
if I don't sleep sound tonight, heaven knows how I'll act;
for there are signs that I'll know not what it is to do,
except, sweet Morpheus, if not I sleep, I'll come then after you.
