¶Liedtext

I When the sun sinks to rest, And the star of the west Sheds its soft silver light o’er the sea; What sweet thoughts arise, As the dim twilight dies-- For then I am thinking of thee! Oh! then crowding fast Come the joys of the past, Through the dimness of days long gone by, Like the stars peeping out, Through the darkness about, From the soft silent depth of the sky. II And thus, as the night Grows more lovely and bright With the clust’ring of planet and star, So this darkness of mine Wins a radiance divine From the light that still lingers afar. Then welcome the night, With its soft holy light! In its silence my heart is more free The rude world to forget, Where no pleasure I’ve met Since the hour that I parted from thee.
