EVENING SONG, by                    
First Line: Soft hovers the twilight o'er field and hill
Last Line: God is watching o'er human weal and woe.
Subject(s): Night; Stars; Bedtime


Soft hovers the twilight o'er field and hill.
The birds are still, heard only is a rill.
The sun sinks to rest and glows in the sky,
And twinkling, a star beckons from on high.
Sweetly resound the evening bells of love,
And fervent prayers arise to God above.
And in the night while all sleep here below,
God is watching o'er human weal and woe.
