Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG CHCH CICI CJCJ| There's a cry from out the loneliness oh listen Honey listen | A |
| Do you hear it do you fear it you're a holding of me so | B |
| You're a sobbing in your sleep dear and your lashes how they glisten | A |
| Do you hear the Little Voices all a begging me to go | B |
| - | |
| All a begging me to leave you Day and night they're pleading praying | C |
| On the North wind on the West wind from the peak and from the plain | D |
| Night and day they never leave me do you know what they are saying | C |
| He was ours before you got him and we want him once again | E |
| - | |
| Yes they're wanting me they're haunting me the awful lonely places | F |
| They're whining and they're whimpering as if each had a soul | G |
| They're calling from the wilderness the vast and God like spaces | F |
| The stark and sullen solitudes that sentinel the Pole | G |
| - | |
| They miss my little camp fires ever brightly bravely gleaming | C |
| In the womb of desolation where was never man before | H |
| As comradeless I sought them lion hearted loving dreaming | C |
| And they hailed me as a comrade and they loved me evermore | H |
| - | |
| And now they're all a crying and it's no use me denying | C |
| The spell of them is on me and I'm helpless as a child | I |
| My heart is aching aching but I hear them sleeping waking | C |
| It's the Lure of Little Voices it's the mandate of the Wild | I |
| - | |
| I'm afraid to tell you Honey I can take no bitter leaving | C |
| But softly in the sleep time from your love I'll steal away | J |
| Oh it's cruel dearie cruel and it's God knows how I'm grieving | C |
| But His loneliness is calling and He knows I must obey | J |
