First Line: Dusk, and the night shades falling
Last Line: Those beautiful memories of you.
Subject(s): Dusk


Dusk, and the night shades falling;
The shadows beginning to creep;
The moon sailing high
In a star-spangled sky
Brings memories that drive away sleep.

Dusk, and the night birds calling
From the side of yonder hill
Bring thoughts of the days
When we trod bright highways
Through the meadows and down by the mill.

Dusk, and the wind in the treetops,
Whispering soft and low . . .
It lulls me to sleep
But in dreams I still keep
Those beautiful memories of you.
