Come to the sunset tree!
The day is past and gone;
The woodman’s axe lies free,
And the reaper’s work is done.

Additional quotes by Felicia Hemans

They grew in beauty side by side,
They filled one home with glee:
Their graves are severed far and wide
By mount and stream and sea.

The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock-bound coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.

Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found —
Freedom to whorship God.

Come to the sunset tree! The day is past and gone; The woodman’s axe lies free, And the reaper’s work is done. - Felicia Hemans
