Where Sings the Whippoorwill

Where the whippoorwill wails

Where the starving artist fails

Where the old man rigs his sails

Where the tarrying trier trails

Sits an answer to their longing hearts

Sits the subject of all arts

Sits the map, the course to chart

Sits and rests, the longing hart


Sing oh whippoorwill 

Sing oh singer

Sing oh lost man

Sing and linger

Call upon the greatest subject

Call upon the grace

Call upon the endless rest

Call out to the resting place
