Hypnos is ruler of the realm of somnolence
His brother Thanatos brings death
Night and Sleep serve Hypnos, the great god
Traveling together through the realms of dream
They gather and provide the inspirations there
They share the depth of color and that of scent
They give voice and song and populate
They are also messengers with messages sent
Morpheus is one of the thousand children of sleep
His role is one that is little different from his father
While he has less power, and he is careful
He observes the order, and is certain of the hour
So that none live and play in the realm of sleep
Longer than the gods desire
