Generate meaning
1
I sat upon the evening hill
2
The shadows set, the night grew still
3
And as I sat, guitar on knee
4
A voice of flowers called to me
5
Sing, sing to me your song
6
Sing, for I belong to the night
7
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
8
I turned with eyes that strained for sight
9
And there amid the failing light
10
Dimly saw a figure small
11
Heard a voice of magic call
12
Sing, sing to me your song
13
Sing, for I belong to the night
14
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
15
My fumbling fingers found the chords
16
My trembling lips fought for the words
17
I stopped to ask the stranger how
18
He softly said, "No questions now"
19
Sing, sing to me your song
20
Sing, for I belong to the night
21
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
22
Then with the magic of the elves
23
My fingers danced among themselves
24
A heart with lightness thus endowed
25
Formed melodies I know not how
26
Song played the whole night long
27
Thus he danced and laughed through the night
28
And with gray morning light, he was gone
29
Now, the whispering wind plays over the hill
30
And the evening sounds again grow still
31
A year or more has passed since then
32
Oh, he will not pass my way again
33
So, I sing, sing to you my song
34
Sing for I belong to the night
35
In the gray morning light, I'll be gone
