Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky

Now the darkness gathers
Stars begin to peep
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep

Now the day is over
The sun has said goodnight
The crescent moon has risen
To share it's gentle light

Now the wind is whispering
In stillness soft and sweet
All of nature's creatures
Now are sound asleep

The birds and beasts and flowers
All have gone to sleep
