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