In sorrow's night a voice I heard;
It came as swift as singing bird
In sky of summer blue and white,
And sang itself into my night.
I heard—I knew 'twas God who spoke—
I rose, and rising felt the yoke
Of darkness, doubting, and despair,
Slip off into the night, and there,
Where night had been, the light of peace
Has brought, thank God, release, release.
