THE DAY IS DONE
​
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.

I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling of sadness comes over me
That my soul cannot resist:

A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain,
As the mist resembles the rain.

Come, come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;

Then read from some treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice,
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares, that infest the day,
Shall be banished like restless feelings
And silently, silently, silently,
Silently steal away.

BIG SKY

When the way is clear, and sunlight shines,
We pursue our way.
With nary a fear, we follow straight lines
Day after blinding day.

Put the path gets blocked, and the sky turns black,
Forcing us to pause,
And leave, with shock, our narrow track
For one with fewer flaws.

When the sky is blue and the grass is green
We seldom check to see
If our pathway through this verdant scene
Leads toward harmony.

Then danger shakes our selfish minds,
We look to the sky,
New lives to make, new paths to find;
Listen to her reply:

“Live your lives,” says she, “with keen respect
For your brothers of the Earth.
To be truly free, you must protect
with majesty and mirth.
​

“The ocean and air, forest, hill, and plain,
Animal in flight,
Are in your care; rejoice in the rain
And walk in the way of light.


THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

This little light of mine
I'm gonna to let it shine
Oh, this little light of mine
I'm gonna to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Let it shine for you and me
I'm gonna to let it shine
Oh, Let it shine for you and me
I'm gonna to let it shine
Let it shine for you and me
I'm gonna to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Ev'ry where I go
I'm going to let it shine
Oh, ev'ry where I go
I'm going to let it shine
Ev'ry where I go
I'm going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine


SHENANDOAH

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, I’m bound away --
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I’m bound away --
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
For her I’d cross your roaming waters,
Away, I’m bound away --
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I’m bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river.
My heart will never cease to grieve you,
Away, I’m bound away --
‘Cross the wide Missouri.

LOVELY ON THE WATER

As I walked out one morning, 
in the springtime of the year
I overheard a sailor boy,
Likewise a lady fair.

They sang a song together
Made the valleys for to ring,
While the birds on the spray in the meadows gay
proclaimed the lovely Spring

Said Willy unto Nancy 
"Oh we soon must sail away, 
For it's lovely on the water to hear the music play.

For our Queen she do want sailors, so I will not stay on shore
I will brave the wars for my country
where the thund'ring canons roar

Come change your ring with me, love,
​For we may meet once more,
For there's one above that will guard our love.
While the thund'ring canons roar.

CATCH A FALLING STAR

Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come
And tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case you feel
You want to hold her
You'll have a pocket
Full of starlight

Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For when your troubles
Start multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget
Them without trying
With just a pocket
Full of starlight

Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
​Save it for a rainy day
