Hush! my soul is singing;
Through the still night ringing
Sounds its voice.
Till the dark in wonder
Seemeth cleft asunder,
And the stars rejoice.
E'en the air is breathless,
For my soul, the deathless,
Sings of thee.
Beats its wings of fire,
In the vast desire
For eternity.
Lifts its eyes of splendour
Full of deep surrender
For thy sake.
Bids me let it press thee
In its arms, and bless thee
Till thy love awake.
