And all sad scenes and thoughts and feelings vanish
In that sweet sleep no power can ever banish,
That one best sleep which never wakes again.

James Thomson

The mighty river flowing dark and deep,
With ebb and flood from the remote sea-tides,
Vague-sounding through the City's sleepless sleep,
Is named the River of the Suicides.

James Thomson

The City is of Night, but not of Sleep;
There sweet sleep is not for the weary brain;
The pitiless hours like years and ages creep,
A night seems termless hell.

James Thomson
