Hermes, keeper of sleep and dreams
On this night and every night
Quiet all the worries and schemes
If it isn’t dark, let me not mind the light
If I am restless, help me to relax
If I am cold, warm me to my toes.
Don’t let me regret those late snacks.
Nor let me get in only a light doze.
Make my aches and pains depart
Quiet the noise or deafen me (temporarily!)
Holder of the staff, this is your art.
I need my sleep badly you see
So that patience and laughter are mine
Please send me to sleep with a kind laugh
Because impatience and anger are not fine!
Hermes please whack me with your staff!
