Do Fish Ever Sleep?

Once I wondered if ever fish sleep,
    Unless by sleep they remain still
In some quiet pool, like the cows and sheep,
    After their fill lie on a grassy hill.
  
Could either, I ask, bring about man’s ease
    And cease his mind to wonder and wander?
And where is that pool or that hill at peace,
   Save Flanders, or some place ever after?
