Stars Begin to Fall

By Negro Hymns and Songs: Spirituals

I TINK I hear my brudder say,

Call de nation great and small;

I lookee on de God’s right hand

When de stars begin to fall.

Oh, what a mournin’, sister,—

Oh, what a mournin’, brudder,—

Oh, what a mournin’,

When de stars begin to fall!
