Original text and translations

English text

As woven shades of evening fall,
    And stars out-peep above,
’Tis sweet to hear the vesper bells
    Resound o’er hill and grove;
They seem to charm from out the heart
    The cares that fill the day,
To comfort all the sorrowful,
    And troubles clear away.
