C  F  C    Am  G  C

[Verse 1]
          F        C
The sun descending in the West
    Am      G         C
The evening star does shine
              F      C
The birds are silent in their nest
    Am     D        G
And I must seek for mine


[Verse 2]
    F            C
The moon, like a flower
   G             C
In heaven's high bower
       F      C
With silent delight
         Am     G      C
Sits and smiles on the night


[Instrumental]
C  F  C    Am  G  C


[Verse 3]
          F        C
The sun descending in the West
    Am      G         C
The evening star does shine
              F      C
The birds are silent in their nest
    Am     D        G
And I must seek for mine


[Verse 4]
    F            C
The moon, like a flower
   G             C
In heaven's high bower
       F      C
With silent delight
         Am     G      C
Sits and smiles on the night
