[No title]
 (Sung text for setting by T. Fisk)

Language: English 
The battle had passed from the height
And still did evening fall
While evening with its hosts of night
Gloriously canopied all

The dead around were sleeping
On heath and granite grey
And the dying their last watch were keeping
In the closing of the day
Note: in the Fisk work, this is sung by Nelly
