Be every mourner's sleep tonight / Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.

Thomas Dekker

Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man.

Joseph Addison

'Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, and things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art; to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.'

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To all, to each, a fair good night, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.

Sir Walter Scott
