How oft, when the lengthening shades of night Do close the day’s bright eye; How oft, when the twilight’s mellow glow Sheds rest and beauty far and nigh; The lengthening shades, the twilight’s glow That spreads o’er land and sky, How oft doth their peaceful charms so pure Draw from some heart a sigh. A sigh for the golden days of yore, When life was one sweet song; A sigh for the memories full of joy, That now have vanished, oh, so long; The golden days, the memories sweet, Once more shall breathe again, And oft shall the soothing sigh of peace Be then the calm refrain.
