If the day is done Bass 226
Musik: Vytautas Miškinis (1954)
Text: Rabindranath Tagore (1583-1625)
If the day is done, if birds sing no more,
the wind has tired, if the day is done,
if birds sing no more, wind has tired,
the wind has tired, has tired,
then drow the veil of darkness thick
upon me, upon me,
even as, even as thou hast
wrapt earth the coverlet of sleep
and tenderly closed the petals [and closed the petals]
drooping lotus at dusk.[of the drooping lotus at dusk.]
If the day is done, if birds sing no more,
the wind has tired, if the day is done,
if the day is done, day is done,
