Softly Falls the Light of Day

Notes

Traditionally, this song can be used to end a campfire. At Yawgoog, this song is often sung quietly, then hummed while a scout reads the Scout Oath or the Scout Law, and then sung again even softer.

Lyrics

Softly falls the light of day
As our campfire fades away.
Silenty each one should ask
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared?
