A Night Was Near, A Day Was Near; Between A Day And Night I Heard Sweet Voices Calling Clear, Calling Me: I Heard A Whirr Of Wing On Wing, But Could Not See The Sight; I Long To See My Birds That Sing, - I Long To See. Below The Stars, Beyond The Moon, Between The Night And Day, I Heard A Rising Falling Tune Calling Me: I Long To See The Pipes And Strings Whereon Such Minstrels Play; I Long To See Each Face That Sings, - I Long To See. To-Day Or May Be Not To-Day, To-Night Or Not To-Night; All Voices That Command Or Pray, Calling Me, Shall Kindle In My Soul Such Fire, And In My Eyes Such Light, That I Shall See That Heart'S Desire I Long To See.
