Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night,
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born.
Awake thee, my Lady-Love!
Wake thee, and rise!
The sun through the bower peeps
Into thine eyes.
When we're all a mess I guess the only way out is a sweet dream.
I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse?
Till their own dreams at length deceive 'em
And oft repeating, they believe 'em.
This is the rarest dream that e'er dull sleep
Did mock sad fools withal.
Education is beautification of the inner world and the outer world.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
