Song at Night

John Hall Wheelock

UNDER your window deep in the heart of the night,

Something is crying under the starry sky,

Between the going night and the growing light.

It is I, it is I.

Under your window cries without quiet or rest

Something that cries with the hurrying winds that cry

For the You that sleeps deep in the heart of your breast.

It is I, it is I.
