Sleep Is Supposed to Be

Sleep is supposed to be,By souls of sanity,The shutting of the eye.

Sleep is the station grandDown which on either handThe hosts of witness stand!

Morn is supposed to be,By people of degree,The breaking of the day.

Morning has not occurred!That shall aurora beEast of eternity;

One with the banner gay,One in the red array,—That is the break of day.
