Out of the night
Language: English
The night sinks down on the sea, Where the restless waters are still; And a startled bird calls from its tree; And the shivering stars are chill. Draw near, O life of the dark! Awake, O voice of the sea! For the winds are wafting my heart To the love who mourns, who mourns for me; who mourns for me. The night sinks down.
