Surely, surely, slumber is more sweet than toil, the shore; Than labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar; Oh rest ye, brother mariners, we will not wander more. (Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

Surely, surely, slumber is more sweet than toil, the shore; Than labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar; Oh rest ye, brother mariners, we will not wander more.

O sweet clean earth, from whom the green blade cometh! When we are dead, my best belovèd and I, Close well above us, that we may rest forever, Sending up grass and blossoms to the sky.

Conrad Aiken

Sudden Light I have been here before, But when or how I cannot tell: I know the grass beyond the door, The sweet keen smell, The sighing sound, the light around the shore.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

So fades a summer cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore.

Anna Letitia Barbauld

Americans need rest, but do not know it. I believe this to be a large part of the explanation of the crime wave in the United States.

Bertrand Russell

Dear as remember'd kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd On lips that are for others deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret. Oh death in life, the days that are no more.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
