GOLDEN SUNSET, by                    
First Line: There's the hour of golden sunset
Last Line: At the close of life's short days.
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight


There's the hour of golden sunset;
And the joy it doth impart
Fills my soul with sweet contentment
And a cheer that fills my heart.
Welcome then, blest hour of evening,
Bringing peace to troubled mind;
Finer gold than in your banners
Toilers never yet have mined.

But whene'er I watch the shadows
Slowly lengthen o'er the lea
And the sun, in all its splendor,
Slips behind the rim of sea --
I behold more gorgeous sunbeams
That beckon with their rays
To a peace that's everlasting,
At the close of life's short days.
