Full Lyrics
Rest on the hills,
Rest in the trees,
Rest in the wandering, whispering breeze;
“Rest,” the sun cries,
As he dies in the sky;
“Rest to you all, for the darkness is nigh.”
Cloudless the heavens,
Silent the earth,
Come, peaceful Night, to approve the day’s worth;
“Rest,” the sun calls,
As he falls out of night:
Rest to us all through the darkness of night.
