SATURDAY EVENING.

How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing from the west,
As ends the weary week Of toll,
And comes the day of rest.
Bright DER the earth the star Of eve
Her radiant beauty sheds;
And myriad sisters calmly weave
Their light around our heads.
Rest, man. from labour! rest from sin!
The worlds hard contest close:
The holy hours with God begin
Yield thee 10 sweet repose.
Bright Ger the earth the morning ray
Its sacred light will cast,
Fair emblem OF the glorious day
That evermore shall rest.
