¶Liedtext

The daylight is fading, the shadows are falling, The day-god has vanished away in the west; The voices of songsters now lightly are calling, In accents so tender his mate to their nest. No longer the air with bright wild-notes is ringing, For hushed into slumber their voices of song; A mantle of darkness night softly is flinging,— The stream from the mountain flows lightly along. Now gleaming so brightly on yon towering mountain, The last beams of daylight fast fading away; Let’s go to the crystal and full flowing fountain, And drink from its fullness the pleasures we may. The flowers their petals in slumber reposing, While grandly the cowslip drinks deep of the dew; The roses and myrtle their fragrant leaves closing, And gently the leaves sigh to daylight adieu.
