The wind has swept from the wide atmosphere
Each vapour that obscured the sunset's ray
Obscured the sunset's ray
And pallid evening twines its beaming hair
In duskier braids around the languid eyes of day

Silence and twilight, unbeloved of men
Creep hand in hand from yon obscurest glen
Yon obscurest glen
They breathe their spells towards the departing day
Encompassing the earth, air, stars and sea
Earth, air, stars and sea

Light, sound and motion
Light and motion own potent sway
Responding to the charm with its own mystery
The winds are still
The winds are still, or the dry church grass
Knows not their gentle motions
Motions as they pass

Light, sound and motion
Light and motion own potent sway
Responding to the charm with its own mystery
The winds are still
The winds are still, or the dry church grass
Knows not their gentle motions
Motions as they pass
