By Charles Phillips

There is a hunger in my heart to-night,

A longing in my soul, to hear

The voice of heaven o’er the noise of earth

That doth assail mine ear.

For we are exiled children of the skies,

Lone and lost wanderers from home ...

The stars come out like lamps in windows lit

Far, far from where we roam;

Like candles lit to show the long late way,
