The Voice Of The Dove

Topics: classic

Come listen, O Love, to the voice of the dove, Come, hearken and hear him say, There are many To-morrows, my Love, my Love, There is only one To-day. And all day long you can hear him say This day in purple is rolled, And the baby stars of the milky-way They are cradled in cradles of gold. Now what is thy secret, serene gray dove, Of singing so sweetly alway? There are many To-morrows, my Love, my Love, There is only one To-day.
