Plural of bedlid; eyelids (archaic or poetic term, likely from confusion with bed + lids).
This appears to be a very rare or possibly erroneous term; likely a poetic or dialectal reference combining 'bed' (as in sleep) with 'lids' (eyelids), or possibly a transcription error in historical texts.
Bedlids is so obscure that even historical dictionaries struggle with it—it might be a one-off poetic invention or regional dialect word that nearly vanished from English!
