Now the Day is Over was written by Sir Joseph Barnby (1838-1896), an English composer and conductor.
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
Now the day is over
The sun has said goodnight
The crescent moon has risen
To share it's gentle light
Now the wind is whispering
In stillness soft and sweet
All of nature's creatures
Now are sound asleep
The birds and beasts and flowers
All have gone to sleep
Nothin' yet.
