Answer Me, Please!
Sonnet 179
Will I survive the night that's layin' the bed
For me and calling me to go to sleep
In her indistinct arms; "No dread... no dread..",
Her cradlesinging me for falling deep?
Will I be able to behold the morrow
As it unfolds its sunny splendors wide,
Over the dew-fill'd medow, drifting billow,
And pluck from heaven my lost peace and pride?
Won't the night betray me, yielding me
Into the eternal hands of death; that when
My fighting mind has stray'd away from body,
I will fore'er be held in darkness then?
But the night does wake me up to the day.
Why then the questions do return, please say.
