How beautcous is the shade OF parting day
When light is fading in the distant "'sli
When family CLEANS the last rcceding ray
Across the placid oceans mirrord breast
The golden hue that tints the western world
Is gently fading to deeper gloom;
The screen of night now slowly is unturId
Till earth seems lost within her ancient tomb
The world is hush'd, in silcncc-wrapt in Sleep
Chaos seems pending DER the darkIlng scene,
While guardian saints their nightly NglIs keep
Upon the inmates of this sphere terr'ne'

Shall dawn upon the woTld, and meath ITS ray
Darkness shall fade away-,hc gloom OF night

as your course is plain With your eye fixed on
that beacon light which shines from the top Of Mon
