+'''English text'''<br>
+No star is o'er the lake, it's pale watch keeping,<br>
+The moon is half awake, through grey mist creeping.<br>
+The last red leaves fall round the porch of roses,<br>
+The clock has ceased to sound, the long day closes.<br>
+Sit by the silent hearth in calm endeavour,<br>
+To count the sound of mirth, now dumb forever.<br>
+Heed not how hope believes and fate disposes:<br>
+Shadow is round the eaves, the long day closes;<br>
+The lighted windows dim are fading slowly.<br>
+The fire that was so trim now quivers lowly,quivers lowly.<br>
+Go to the dreamless bed where grief reposes,<br>
+Thy book of toil is read, the long day closes;<br>
+Go to the dreamless bed where grief reposes;<br>
+Thy book of toil is read, thy book of toil is read,<br>
+Go to the dreamless bed. The long day closes.<br>
