  *++Lyrics:|\\
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?\\
\\
In the gloaming, oh, my darling!\\
Think not bitterly of me!\\
Tho' I pass'd away in silence,\\
Left you lonely, set you free.\\
For my heart was crush'd with longing,\\
What had been could never be;\\
It was best to leave you thus, dear,\\
Best for you and best for me.\\
\\
