The author associate sleep with lullaby, night, stars, moon, moonlight, dark, relaxation, dreams and so on, which discover poets develop abundant words for a single theme such as “Sleep”, which can be interesting to have a recital based on these word subjects.

This repertoire research article provides reader a feast of sensations, allures audience by reading, listening and imaging the world of art songs. Dreams and lullabies are not the only by-products that related to sleep, but even the Songs of Travel (William, R. V.) contains two songs that deal tangentially with dreams and love. The only common thing those art songs contain, is the charm passing through the fragrance of night towards all the art song lovers, to you and me.
