Day is done
Gone the sun
From the lakes
From the hills
From the sky.
All is well,
Safety rest
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky
Gleaming bright
From afar,
Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise
For our days,
'Neath the sun
'Neath the stars
'Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.
I have often felt chills when listening to Taps being played, but I never had seen the words until now. I didn't even know there was more than one verse. Keep the fallen soldiers in your memory.
