GYPSY SONG, by                    
First Line: What is it within me that's yearning to go
Last Line: To shatter the sky like a comet at night.
Subject(s): Birds; Music & Musicians; Singing & Singers


What is it within me that's yearning to go
Whenever the dawn sets the east all aglow?
There's a fire in my blood like the flame in the sky
And a wild gypsy song in the wind rushing by.

My feet are a-tingle to follow the bird
Whose clear, thrilling call was the summons I heard,
And the wings of my heart are a-quiver for flight
To shatter the sky like a comet at night.
