"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
lake, from the hills, from the sky.
|
|
All is
well, safely rest, God is nigh.
|
|
|
|
"Then
good night, peaceful night,
|
|
Till the
light of the dawn shineth bright,
|
|
God is
near, do not fear -- Friend, good night."
|
"TAPS is the
most beautiful bugle call. Played slowly and softly, it has a smooth, tender and
touching character. The bugle call was written during the Peninsula Campaign of
the Civil War by General Butterfield, with an assist from his bugler, Oliver W.
Norton, in 1862.
"TAPS"
went on from its origin as an alternative to "Lights Out" to become
not only a signal that day was done, but also to say good-bye to a fallen
comrade.
"TAPS" is
customarily played at funerals at Arlington national Cemetery as well as at
ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknowns there.
Its composer is
buried in the Post Cemetery at the United States Military Academy at West Point
(even though he did not graduate from the Academy).
