Steal Across the Sky

After a beautiful day we’ve now got a wonderful evening with shadows creeping across the beach below the cottage. During my walk, along the strand, I was reminded of the hymn we used to sing, every evening, at the end of the school day when I was in primary school – Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening, Steal across the sky. Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep, Birds, and beasts and flowers, Soon will be asleep.
