 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! June 1904 14
