LUCY'S SONG
by: Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
 OW beautiful at eventide
- To see the twilight shadows pale,
- Steal o'er the landscape, far and wide,
- O'er stream and meadow, mound and dale!
-
- How soft is Nature's calm repose
- When ev'ning skies their cool dews weep:
- The gentlest wind more gently blows,
- As if to soothe her in her sleep!
-
- The gay morn breaks,
- Mists roll away,
- All Nature awakes
- To glorious day.
- In my breast alone
- Dark shadows remain;
- The peace it has known
- It can never regain.
