Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening

Steal across the sky
Now the darkness gathers
Stars begin to peep

Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep
Now the day is over

The sun has said goodnight
The crescent moon has risen
To share it's gentle light

Now the wind is whispering
In stillness soft and sweet
All of nature's creatures

Now are sound asleep
The birds and beasts and flowers
All have gone to sleep
