The Sun kept setting lyrics

The Sun kept setting - setting - still

No Hue of Afternoon -

Upon the Village I perceived -

From House to House ’twas Noon -

The Dusk kept dropping - dropping - still

No Dew upon the Grass -

But only on my Forehead stopped -

And wandered in my Face -

My Feet kept drowsing - drowsing - still

My fingers were awake -

Yet why so little sound - Myself

Unto my Seeming - make?

How well I knew the Light before -

I could not see it now -

’Tis Dying - I am doing - but

I’m not afraid to know -
