Lyrics

The blackbird shakes his metal notes
Against the edge of day,
And I am left upon my road
With one star on my way.

The night has told it to the hills,
And told the partridge in the nest,
And left it on the long white roads,
She will give light instead of rest.

Behold the sky is covered,
As with a mighty shroud:
A forlorn light is lying
Between the earth and cloud.

In the silence of the morning
Myself, myself went by,
Where lonely trees sway branches
Against spaces of the sky.

--Padraic Colum, 1916
