Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Sundown lyrics

The summer sun is sinking low; Only the tree-tops redden and glow: Only the weatherco*k on the spire Of the neighboring church is a flame of fire;   All is in shadow below. O beautiful, awful summer day, What hast thou given, what taken away? Life and d**h, and love and hate, Homes made happy or desolate,   Hearts made sad or gay! On the road of life one mile-stone more! In the book of life one leaf turned o'er! Like a red seal is the setting sun On the good and the evil men have done,—   Naught can to-day restore!
