Reflections at Sunset.
1The mellow eve is gliding
Serenely down the west;
So, every care subsiding,
My soul would sink to rest.
2The woodland hum is ringing
The daylight's gentle close;
May angels round me singing,
Thus hymn my last repose.
3The evening star has lighted
Her crystal lamp on high;
So, when in death benighted,
May hope illume the sky.
4In golden splendor dawning,
The morrow's light shall break;
O, on the last bright morning
May I in glory wake.
