-Softly fall the shades of evening
-O'er the valley, hushed and still,
-As the sun's last rays are fading
-From the western hill.
-Balmy mists have lull'd to slumber
-Weary tenants of the tree,
-Stars in bright and glorious number,
-Sparkle on the waveless sea.
-Softly fall the shades of evening
-On the bosom of the deep,
-Winds in gentle whisp'ring murmurs,
-Woo the sweet wild flow'rs to sleep.
-Far on high the moon ascending
-Sheds on all her peaceful light;
-From her silv'ry throne she smileth,
-Smileth on a world of dreams.}}
