The Paha Sapa twilight falls,
And soon the hills must face the night.
The ghost-shades of their emerald walls
Are stealing from the sun-set light.

The rainbow's blush now floods the sky,
And Paha Sapa crags grow dim.
In every valley soft mists lie,
While woodlands voice their vesper hymn.

The flowers nod their droopy heads,
And birds are cuddled in their nest;
The constant moon will watch their beds
As Paha Sapa sinks to rest.

When life puts on the cloak of night,
To shroud my soul from world-alarms,
I, too, would steal, midst failing light,
To sleep in Paha Sapa's arms.
