Time to Go
Time to go — the moon is waking!
With the earth and heaven quaking!
With the secret midnight breaking!
In the glassy palace sky.
Time to go — the clouds are calling,
With the starlight spread enthralling,
With the silky snowflakes falling,
Don’t delay and don’t be shy!
Time to go — tis heaven thronging!
Calling us to sweet belonging,
Loneliness and bitter longing,
Banished far from every eye.
Time to go — the stars are speaking,
Company and comfort seeking,
With our kindred bravely eking,
Sanctuary in heavens high.
Time to go — the planets looming,
Far above with comets zooming,
Take us there by holy grooming,
Flitting far away to die.
Time to go — the forest’s eerie,
And damnation’s dirge is dreary,
Take us, for our eyes are teary,
With a pain we can’t deny.
Time to go — tis heaven tapping,
And we’ll not be stranded, napping,
Press thy hands together, clapping,
Soaring skyward endless spry…
