When the dawn of the day is a-breaking When light beckons you to awakening When spring is in the air And the world is fresh and fair When the dawn of the day is a-breaking
When the noon of the day is a-brightening When the height of the sky is lightening Your laughter and your tears Are the summer of your years When the noon of the day is a-brightening
When the dusk of the day is a-darkening When the evening star is starting In the autumn of your days Walk gently in your ways When the dusk of the day is a-darkening
When the end of the day is a-falling When night time's rest is a-calling You can hear the winter mourn On the long road home When the end of the day is a-calling
