Is this soft hour of night, | Is this soft hour of night, | ||
Beneath thy beam divine, | Beneath thy beam divine, | ||

O gentle beam of midnight moon,
How tender is thy light,
Far dearer than the blaze of noon,
Is this soft hour of night,
Beneath thy beam divine,
The earth is all benign,
Thou fill'st the soul with bliss,
What daylight sweet as this?
O sad heart, worn by day's broad glare,
Made weary of thy life,
All faint and stricken by the blare,
Of daytime's eager strife.
O rest thee, heart of pain,
Blest night is come again,
The midday strivings cease,
And all is holy peace.
