Song in the Night

SING, O sing! for the night is dark, and the dawning tarries long, And the woe of the land of shadowing wing is stilled by the sound of song. There is never a light on the land tonight; there is never a star in the sky; Only the glance of the lightning’s lance, and the white waves leaping high.
The seabirds swing on tireless wing, The waves, with rhythmic beat, Forevermore along the shore Their world-old song repeat; And borne on winds afar, The silver echoes fill The vault of heaven from star to star, The earth from hill to hill.
Sing, O sing! for the night is past, the sun shines over the sea, And the heart of the world is a song of love and hope for the days to be; The terror that flies through the midnight skies and the powers of the dark are gone; Till the music fills the echoing hills, heart of my heart, sing on!
