by Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933)

Language: English 
Dreamily over the roofs
  The cold spring rain is falling;
Out in a lonely tree
  A bird is calling, calling.

Softly over the earth
  The wings of night are falling;
My heart like the bird in the tree
  Is calling, calling, calling.

Composition:

    Set to music by Wintter Haynes Watts (1884 - 1962), "Wings of Night", published 1917 [ high voice, piano ]
