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 winds are sobbing faintly

With a gentle unknown woe

Will you think of me and love me

As you did once long ago

For my heart was brushed 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
