| The sun descending in the West, | |
| The evening star does shine; | |
| The birds are silent in their nest, | |
| And I must seek for mine. | |
| The moon, like a flower | |
| In heaven's high bower, | |
| With silent delight, | |
| Sits and smiles on the night. | |
| Farewell, green fields and happy groves, | |
| Where flocks have took delight, | |
| Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves | |
| The feet of angels bright; | |
| Unseen, they pour blessing, | |
| And joy without ceasing, | |
| On each bud and blossom, | |
| And each sleeping bosom. | |
| They look in every thoughtless nest | |
| Where birds are covered warm; | |
| They visit caves of every beast, | |
| To keep them all from harm: | |
| If they see any weeping | |
| That should have been sleeping, | |
| They pour sleep on their head, | |
| And sit down by their bed. | |
| When wolves and tigers howl for prey, | |
| They pitying stand and weep; | |
| Seeking to drive their thirst away, | |
| And keep them from the sheep. | |
| But, if they rush dreadful, | |
| The angels, most heedful, | |
| Receive each mild spirit, | |
| New worlds to inherit. | |
| And there the lion's ruddy eyes | |
| Shall flow with tears of gold: | |
| And pitying the tender cries, | |
| And walking round the fold: | |
| Saying: 'Wrath by His meekness, | |
| And, by His health, sickness, | |
| Is driven away | |
| From our immortal day. | |
| 'And now beside thee, bleating lamb, | |
| I can lie down and sleep, | |
| Or think on Him who bore thy name, | |
| Graze after thee, and weep. | |
| For, washed in life's river, | |
| My bright mane for ever | |
| Shall shine like the gold, | |
| As I guard o'er the fold |
| The sun descending in the West, | |
| The evening star does shine | |
| The birds are silent in their nest, | |
| And I must seek for mine. | |
| The moon, like a flower | |
| In heaven' s high bower, | |
| With silent delight, | |
| Sits and smiles on the night. | |
