Lyrics
Verse 1
Silently the shades of evening Gather round my lowly door; Silently they bring before me Faces I shall see no more.
Verse 2
O the lost, the unforgotten, Tho’ the world be oft forgot! O the shrouded and the lonely, In our hearts they perish not!
Verse 3
How such holy mem’ries cluster, Like the stars when storms are past, Pointing up to that fair heaven We may hope to gain at last.
Chorus
Come the silent shades of evening; (Come the shades of evening, silently,) Holy mem’ries cluster ‘round me, (silently,) Pointing up to that fair heaven, (silently,) We may hope to gain at last.
