Song in the Night
(From Bierbaum)
Streets to left, and streets to right,
- Dull and dank it seems,
As I wander in the night
- Wakened from my dreams.
- Yearning,
- Burning,
- Pain and smart,
Whither dost thou sink, my heart?
Whither dost thou sink, my heart?
There’s a house with shutters green
- Far away from town,
Where the river rolls serene
- Moving, murmuring down.
- Bowers,
- Flowers!
- Fold it in!
Would I were a guest within!
Would I were a guest within!
