lyrics

The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon, like a flower,
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.
(...)
They look in every thoughtless nest,
Where birds are covered warm;
They visit caves of every beast,
To keep them all from harm.
If they see any weeping
That should have been sleeping,
They pour sleep on their head,
And sit down by their bed.
(...)

For, washed in life's river,
My bright mane for ever
Shall shine like the gold
As I guard o'er the fold."

LA NOCHE
Desciende el sol por el oeste,
brilla el lucero vespertino;
los pájaros están callados en sus nidos,
y yo debo buscar el mío.
La luna, como una flor
en el alto arco del cielo,
con deleite silencioso,
se instala y sonríe en la noche.
(...)
Miran hasta en nidos impensados
donde las aves se abrigan;
visitan las cuevas de todas las fieras,
para protegerlas de todo mal.
Si ven que alguien llora
en vez de estar durmiendo,
derraman sueño sobre su cabeza
y se sientan junto a su cama.
(...)
Pues lavada en el río de la vida
mi reluciente melena
brillará para siempre como el oro,
mientras yo vigilo el redil."
