WORLD OF MY DREAMS by CLYDE MCGEE

First Line: SOMETHING SOFTLY AT CLOSE OF DAY
Last Line: KEEPS CALLING TO ME, CALLING TO ME.
Subject(s): DREAMS; SLEEP; NIGHTMARES;

Something softly at close of day,
As man leaves work and child leaves play,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something when music comes to end,
Something beyond the roadway's bend,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something afar in western skies,
Where autumn's sun in splendor lies,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something within the noonday's toil,
Something from out the ceaseless moil,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something hidden in joy and tears,
Something lost in forgotten years,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something from depths of blue above,
Something in eyes of those I love,
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

From world of dreams it calls to me,
World of my Dreams that yet shall be,—
Keeps calling to me, calling to me;

Something calling, "On with the Quest,"
Calling me home, to rest, to rest,—
Keeps calling to me, calling to me.
