Very high in the pine tree, the little turtle dove, made a pretty little nursery, to please his little love.

She was gentle, she was soft, and her dark eye often turned to her mate, who was sitting close by.

“Coo!”, said the turtle dove, “Coo,” said she; “Oh, I love thee”; said the turtle dove.

Said she, “And I love thee.”

Yes! We all. Even Jesus slept. In the boat in the storm with his disciples ...

Keep well thanks for the comment! & Nolan

There were documented cases in the trenches in the first world war of soldiers that were awake more than two weeks. They were permanently insane. On a much sweeter note, Keats wrote some wonderful poetry on Sleep.

Cheers!
