Just as life's little day draws to its close, And dim and ill-defined the landscape grows That I have loved so long; just as the night Spreads its dark wings before my fading sight, My soul begins to see. And from my spirit's eye the scales of sin Fall down at touch of death, as though some hand Had burst a prisons's door, and ushered in A throng of joyous sunbeams to a band Condemned--that would be free.
