Peace breathes along the shades
Of ev'ry hill,
The tree tops of the glades
Are hush'd and still;
All woodland murmurs cease;
The birds to rest within the break are gone.

Peace breathes along the shades
Of ev'ry hill,
The tree tops of the glades
Are hush'd and still;
All woodland murmurs cease;
The birds to rest within the break are gone.

Be patient, weary heart,
Be patient, weary heart, weary heart,
Be patient weary heart,
Anon thou too shalt be at peace,
Thou, too, shalt be at peace,
Thou, too, thou, too, shalt be at peace,
Shalt be at peace.
