Aud there heard a hidden bird,
That chanted "Whip.poor.will"

The mill-whcel hung at rest;
The lonely star of evening
Was quivering in the west;
The veil OF night was falling;
The winds were folded STILL
And everywhere the trembling air
Re-echoed, "Whip-poor-will."
You seemed so long in coming,

And life was all unknown:

And made my senses thrill
With all the pain that haunts the strain
