The sun goes down in the dark blue main,
To rise the brighter tomorrow;
But oh! what charm can restore again
Those days now consign'd to sorrow?

The moon goes down on the dark cool night,
To rise sweeter than when she parted;
But oh! what cxharm can restore the light
Of joy to the broken-hearted?

Thed blossoms depart in the wintry hour,
To rise in vernal glory;
But oh! what charm can restore the flower
Of youth to the old and hoary?
