Songs of Summerland ‎#69

69. Night

1 When the day declineth
Over wood and plain,
When the last beam shineth,
Night returns again.

2 Darkness gathers round us,
Shadows softly creep;
Soon the little children
Will be fast asleep.

3 Peaceful like this gloaming
May life’s evening be,
Ush’ring in the twilight
Of eternity.
