The sun descending in the west
The evening star does shine
The birds are silent in their nest
And I must seek for mine

The moon like a flower
In heaven's high bower
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night

The sun descending in the west
The evening star does shine
The birds are silent in their nest
And I must seek for mine

The moon like a flower
In heaven's high bower
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night
