English text

Comes, at times, a stillness as of even,
Steeping the soul in memories of love;
As when the glow is sinking out of heaven,
As when the twilight deepends in the grove,
Comes at length, a sound of many voices,
As when the waves break lightly on the shore;
As when at dawn the feather'd choir rejoices,
Singing aloud, because the night is o'er.
Comes, at times, a voice of days departed,
On the dying breath of evening borne,
Sinks then the trav'ler, faint and weary-hearted,
"Long is the way" it whispers, "and forlorn."
Comes, at last, a voice of thrilling gladness,
Borne on the breezes of the risng Day,
Saying "The Lord shall make an end of sadness;"
Saying "The Lord shall wipe all tears away,"
