Farewell night

Easter song

1
Farewell night with mists o'ershrouded,
Farewell star and twilight gloom;
Welcome sunshine unbeclouded;
Winter make for Mayday room!
Refrein:
Heav'n and earth, Isle and ocean,
Frith and firth, Sing for mirth.
2
Gold bright sun of spring's new morning
Rising o'er the crests of hills,
Dance now in thy robes of splendour
While the Easter clarion trills.
Refrein...
3
Earth's fair mantle green and glistening,
Soften'd by the April show'rs
Burgeon forth to great Life's Hero
Yield your ransom'd scent and flow'rs.
Refrein...
