I HEAR THE STARS STILL SINGING

James Weldon Johnson

I hear the stars still singing To the beautiful, silent night, As they speed with noiseless winging Their ever westward flight.

I hear the waves still falling On the stretch of lonely shore, But the sound of a sweet voice calling I shall hear, alas! no more.
