In the Gloaming

In the gloaming oh, my darling when the lights are dim and low And the quiet shadows falling softly come and softly go

When the trees are sobbing faintly with a gentle unknown woe Will you think of me and love me, as you did once long ago?

In the gloaming oh! my darling think not bitterly of me? Tho' I passed away in silence left you lonely, set you free

For my heart was crush'd with longing, what had been could never be It was best to leave you thus dear best for you and best for me

It was best to leave you thus .......... Best for you and best for me ......
