Day is done, <br />gone the sun, <br />From the hills, <br />from the lake, <br />From the sky. <br />All is well, <br />safely rest, <br />God is nigh. <br /> <br />Go to sleep, <br />peaceful sleep, <br />May the soldier <br />or sailor, <br />God keep. <br />On the land <br />or the deep, <br />Safe in sleep. <br /> <br />Love, good night, <br />Must thou go, <br />When the day, <br />And the night <br />Need thee so? <br />All is well. <br />Speedeth all <br />To their rest. <br /> <br />Fades the light; <br />And afar <br />Goeth day, <br />And the stars <br />Shineth bright, <br />Fare thee well; <br />Day has gone, <br />Night is on. <br /> <br />Thanks and praise, <br />For our days, <br />'Neath the sun, <br />'Neath the stars, <br />'Neath the sky, <br />As we go, <br />This we know, <br />God is nigh.<br /><br />Anonymous Americas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/taps/
