This snippet is from a longer poem (The Princess), but I don't have access to that one. I don't know what the longer poem is about, but this little bit sounds like a lullaby. The rhyme scheme - ABAB - is very song-like and the lines are comforting and sweet.
It's nice to picture a father singing these lines to their child as he lays them down to sleep. With this send-off, only good dreams can come.
Favorite line: "Sleep and rest, sleep and rest"
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
