That comes as comes the evening psalm,

That bids the world's vain tumult cease.

And as fall swift the shades of night

Along the path my feet must tread,

Lo! through the clouds a golden light

Upon Life's passing scene is shed.

And so, bathed in its softened glow,

And tuned to sweetest harmonies

Far, far beyond Life's ebb and flow—

The soul, immortal, seeks the skies!
