Love, sweet dreams!
Lo, the beams of the light Fairy moon kissed the streams,
Love, Goodnight!
Ah so soon!
Peaceful dreams!
Josef Pasternack's popular version of Taps
I really like this version. It's sweet and wistful ... Of course, the words that come to my mind when I hear the fateful tune is usually the traditional version by Horace Lorenzo Trim.
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the skies
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.
Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, goodnight.
I'll be doing my own thing today, although it makes me a bit sad to know that if I was still on Pender, I'd be preparing to kilt up for the Ceremony at the Legion. Next Tuesday, I'll be joining up with a new group to practice with. I hope I enjoy it as much ... I'll be learning Tenor properly and I'm sure that I'll be bored, but also a bit more confident and professional looking.
It'll get me out of the house occasionally too. ;)
Sweet Dreams!
