Prophecy Made Going "down Along."

Don't tell, but I think there's a miracle today; / The Old North Church is full of Western light, / And the bush near by is afire; very bright / Shine the windows in the tower, for the last half hour / Some starlings have ranged there whistling and calling, / The barometer is falling, / It's Underground Moon this week, you know; / (Don't tell anybody I said so, / But I think there's a miracle today.) / Somewhere on the Island something's going to happen; / Don't ask me, I don't know anything about it. / Whatever I say I'd just as lief shout it, / (But there's going to be a miracle today! ) / If there's any pass at all a-going your way, / Better say / (There's going to be a miracle today.) / Don't tell them who said so -- they wouldn't like it, hey? / (But there's going to be a miracle today! ) / I know it for sure, for I've stood for one hour / Watching those starlings in the North Church Tower. / So if you want a gam, / It's sure I am / That there's going to be a miracle today. / So that's the drift, / Though maybe they'll be miffed -- / "He hasn't got the run of it," they'll say, / But -- there's going to be a miracle today!
