SHADOWS
The world goes round and the rain is falling:
Welladay!
The world goes round and the rain is falling;
Ever the Shadowy Ones are calling—
Come away!
Welladay!
The world goes round and the rain is falling;
Ever the Shadowy Ones are calling—
Come away!
The world goes round and the leaves are falling
Every day.
The world goes round and the leaves are falling;
Autumn weeds are the Spring forestalling;—
Earth is grey.
Every day.

Autumn weeds are the Spring forestalling;—
Earth is grey.
The world goes round and Death is calling—
Come away!
The world goes round and Death is calling,
Hour by hour, poor Life appalling.
Welladay!
Come away!
The world goes round and Death is calling,
Hour by hour, poor Life appalling.
Welladay!
The world goes round and the stars are falling,
Welladay!
The world goes round and the stars are falling:
All things, God! unto thee, are calling—
Be our stay!
Welladay!
The world goes round and the stars are falling:
All things, God! unto thee, are calling—
Be our stay!
