Good night—good night.

The chattering jay has ceased his din—

The noisy robin sings no more—

The crow, his mountain haunt within,

Dreams 'mid the forest's surly roar:

Good night—good night.

The sunlit cloud floats dim and pale;

The dew is falling soft and still;

The mist hangs trembling o'er the vale,

And silence broods o'er yonder mill:
