Singing at Sunset

Did you hear it at the sunset ?
Happy, happy thrush !
Carolling and trilling
Through the evening hush.
Singing at the sunset,
Singing, singing sweet,
Where the shadows and the splendour
Softly, softly meet ;
Pouring out the full notes,
Ringing, ringing loud,
When the gold is on the beeches,
And the crimson on the cloud !
Singing at the sunset !
Happy, happy song !

Shall we listen in the sunset,
Listen, listen long,
Silent for the glory,
Silent for the song ?
Singing at the sunset,
Angel voices hear,
And the harpings of the harpers
Ringing, ringing clear ;
Nearing all the gladness,
Leaving all the gloom,
When the light is on the River,
And the glory on the tomb !
Singing at the sunset !
Happy, happy song !
