I saw the light fade from the sky

On the wind I heard a sigh

As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers

I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling

So ends this day

The road is now calling

And I must away

Over hill and under tree

Through lands where never light has shone

By silver streams that run down to the sea

Under cloud, beneath the stars

Over snow and winter's morn

I turn at last to paths that lead home

And, oh, where the road then takes me,

I can not tell

We came all this way

But now comes the day

To bid you farewell

Many places I have been

Many sorrows I have seen

But don't regret

Nor will I forget

All who took that road with me

Night is now falling

So ends this day

The road is now calling

And I must away

Over hill, and under tree

Through lands where never light has shone

By silver streams that run down to the sea

To these memories I will hold

With your blessing I will go

To turn at last to paths that lead home

And, oh, where the road then takes me,

I can not tell

We came all this way

But now comes the day

To bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell
