Vespers

This is the song sung at the closing of Court of Honor. A circle is formed, crossing right hand over left. A gap is left in the circle to remind us of those who have gone before and those who will come after.

Lyrics:

Softly falls the light of day
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout must 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?

Usually, the second verse is hummed
