English text
- Cold is the air,
- The woods are bare
- And brown; the herd
- Stand in the yard.
- The frost doth fall;
- And round the hill
- The hares move slow;
- The homeward crow,
- Alone and high,
- Crosses the sky
- All silently.
- The quick streams freeze;
- The moving trees
- Are still; for now
- No breeze will blow:
- The wind has gone
- With the day, down,
- And clouds are come
- Bearing the gloom.
- The yellow grass
- In the clear glass
- Of the bright pool
- Grows soft and dull.
- The water's eye
- That held the sky
- Now glazes quite;
- And now the light
- On the cold hill
- Fadeth, until
- The giant mass
- Doth seem to pass
- From near to far;
- The clouds obscure
- The sky with gloom:
- The night is come,
- The night is come.
- Lyrics: Langdon Elwyn Mitchell - (1862-1935)
