|
<p>The duteous day now closeth,<br>
|
|
Each flower and tree reposeth,<br>
|
|
Shade creeps o’er wild and wood:<br>
|
|
Let us, as night is falling,<br>
|
|
On God our Maker calling,<br>
|
|
Give thanks to Him, the Giver good.</p>
|
|
<p>Now all the heav’nly splendor<br>
|
|
Breaks forth in starlight tender<br>
|
|
From myriad worlds unknown;<br>
|
|
And man, the marvel seeing,<br>
|
|
Forgets his selfish being,<br>
|
|
For joy of beauty not his own.</p>
|
|
<p>Awhile his mortal blindness<br>
|
|
May miss God’s lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
And grope in faithless strife:<br>
|
|
But when life’s day is over<br>
|
|
Shall death’s fair night discover<br>
|
|
The fields of everlasting life.</p>
