Wake! A voice is calling
For the day is coming near,
The dark in deep is falling
In the songbirds you'll hear.
Give the colours a sight
And all the beautiful things,
Here comes day darling light
In the morning it all sings.
Wake! A voice from its sleep
Every hour is a pleasure,
In your soul here to keep
This fine momentary treasure.
When the day falls again
To the hour of the dark,
These tunes were not in vain
Nor the moment you'd hark.
Wake! A voice melody
Forest songs so pleasurable,
Send them to your feelings free
So they never become dull.

Peter S. Quinn
