The day is done - heartscore
Composed by:Dirk Radloff
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist
And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not a king to pain
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain
Come read to me some poem
Some simple and heartfelt lay
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day
Not from the grand old masters
Not from the bards sublime
Whose distant footsteps echo echo echo
Through the corridors of time
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight eagle in his flight
For like strains of martial music
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toil and endeavor
And to night I long for rest
Read from some humbler poet
Whose songs gushed from his heart
As showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelids start
Who through long days of labor
And nights devoid of ease
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight eagle in his flight
The day is done
The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
