¶Lyrics / Text

The eventide reclines her head in sadness, To rest awhile in placid slumber sweet, While all the hills adorned in holy redness, Praise God, and worship at his feet. The clouds together swimming, With fancy golden tinging, And through the summer’s evening light, Breezes softly say good night. The flowers weep their dewy tears of sadness, And humbly bow before the eventide, While night advances as a royal princess, And with a shroud the world doth hide, And in the twilight rising, From peaceful hearth’s rejoicing, Are summer songs, with voices light, Then the breezes say good night.
