The Long Day Closes - Sullivan | Phoenix Consort

The Long Day Closes - Arthur Sullivan No star is o'er the lake Its pale watch keeping The moon is half awake Through grey mist creeping The last red leaves fall round The porch of roses The clock hath ceased to sound The long day closes Sit by the silent hearth In calm endeavour To count the sounds of mirth Now dumb for ever Heed not how hope believes And fate disposes: Shadow is round the eaves The long day closes The lighted windows dim Are fading slowly The fire that was so trim Now quivers lowly Go to the dreamless bed Where grief reposes; Thy book of toil is read The long day closes Alto: Jess Whitehead Tenor: Angus Armstrong Bass and Director: Adam Whitmore Bass: Jack O'Donovan Recorded in St. Chad's College Chapel, Durham.
