{{Vs|1}} The wan white clouds are trailing
Low o'er the level plain,
And the wind  brings with its wailing
The chill of coming rain.
Fringed by the faded heather,
Wide pools of water lie,
And birds and leaves together
Whirl through the evening sky.
Haste thee away, O winter sky,
The weary hearted weep and say.
Sad in thy light, and slow thy flight,
Sweet were the words Good night! Good night!
 
{{Vs|2}} The sweet west wind is flying,
Over the purple sea,
And the amber daylight dying,
On roadway, hill and tree.
The cattle bells are ringing
Among the slanting downs,
And children's voices flinging
Glad echoes through the towns.
O summer day! so soon away.
The happy hearted sigh and say.
Sweet is thy light, and sad thy flight,
And sad the words Good night! Good night!

1  The wan white clouds are trailing
Low o'er the level plain,
And the wind brings with its wailing
The chill of coming rain.
Fringed by the faded heather,
Wide pools of water lie,
And birds and leaves together
Whirl through the evening sky.
Haste thee away, O winter sky,
The weary hearted weep and say.
Sad in thy light, and slow thy flight,
Sweet were the words Good night! Good night!

2  The sweet west wind is flying,
Over the purple sea,
And the amber daylight dying,
On roadway, hill and tree.
The cattle bells are ringing
Among the slanting downs,
And children's voices flinging
Glad echoes through the towns.
O summer day! so soon away.
The happy hearted sigh and say.
Sweet is thy light, and sad thy flight,
And sad the words Good night! Good night!
