by John Vance Cheney (1848 - 1922)

Day is gone
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lang)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
The birds have hid, the winds are low,	
The brake is awake, the grass aglow:	
The bat is the rover,	
No bee on the clover,	
The day is over,
And evening come.	
 
The heavy beetle spreads her wings,	
The toad has the road, the cricket sings:	
The bat is the rover,	
No bee on the clover,
The day is over,	
And evening come.

Composition:

    Set to music by Margaret Ruthven Lang (1867 - 1972), "Day is gone", op. 40 (Four songs) no. 2 (<<1903) [ voice and piano ]
