TAPS

Fading light dims the sight And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright  From afar drawing nigh, Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,  From the hills, from the lake, from the skies.  All is well, safely rest; God is nigh.

Then goodnight, peaceful night;  Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.  God is near, do not fear, Friend, Goodnight.

Dream of battled fields no more.
Days of danger, nights of waking."
