SONG IN THE NIGHT, by                    
First Line: Streets to left, and streets to right
Last Line: Would I were a guest within!
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


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!
