Evening
Language: English
Goodnight, fair rose, goodnight! The sun is in the west, The world must go to rest, And thou must fold thy petals bright, Goodnight! goodnight! Goodbye[,] glad bird, goodbye! For to thy woodland home, Thou in the dusk must roam, The stars are waking in the sky, Goodbye, goodbye! Goodnight, sweet day, goodnight! The weary eyes must close, The weary heart, the rose, And dream of thee, thy love, thy light, Goodnight, goodnight!
