And now at last the sun is going down behind the wood, And I am very happy, for I know that I've been good. My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair, And I must be off to sleeping-by, and not forget my prayer. I know that, till tomorrow I shall see the sun arise, No ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes. But slumber hold me tightly till I wake in the dawn, And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn. Which word is a synonym to the word 'slumber' as used in the passage?
