Bird Songs at Eventide - Jenny Watson

Over the quiet hills, slowly the shadows fall;
Far down the echoing vale, birds softly call.
Slowly the golden sun sinks in the gleaming west;
Bird songs at eventide, call me, call me, to rest.
Love, though the hours of day
Sadness of heart may bring,
When twilight comes again,
Sorrows take wing;
For, when the dusk of dreams
Comes with the falling dew,
Bird songs at eventide call me, call me to you.
(Reprise, softly):
Bird songs at eventide, call me, call me to you.
