Quietus

Tis the bed that considers rest
yet in sleep, nightmares you quest
And the warmth that lovers seek and chase
to bed they'd be cinders yet in grace
Yet again if in bed, demise befalls
How long shall I bide and persist to call
That no longer I'm asleep nor the rest they seek
That now I had retired at half thirty-six.
