Note: It is truly amazing what you can find on the poetry pages of Jan Haag. In a small note under one of her poems stood the description of the Archimedes' Pi: I quote:
“PI = 3.14286 -- Archimedes' estimate from the OED (1841), p. 813”

Sleep sweetly maiden
fair
at rest this morn
on yon
soft chair. Dreaming dreams of a handsome prince
in gentle respite, rest ye hence.

In innocence ye
there
do lie, while all
the world
is passing by. Thy beauty fair amid peach
folds emanates like rays of gold.

Rest ye now,
peaceful
and in thy sleep
fairies dance
round ye keeping vigil against morning’s sun.
Rest, my child til slumber’s done.
