Unknown - Evening Song Cornell Lyrics

EVENING SONG (CORNELL)

When the sun fades far away
In the crimson of the West
And the voices of the day
Murmur low and sink to rest

Music with the twilight falls
O'er the dreaming lake and dell
'Tis an echo from the walls
Of our own, our fair Cornell

Life is joyous when the hours
Move in melody along
All its happiness is ours
While we join the vesper song

Welcome night and welcome rest
Fading music fare thee well
Joy to all we love the best
Love to thee, our fair Cornell
