Thread Name: Origins: Etymology of Taps?
Subject: RE: Etymology of Taps?
While there are many more stanzas available the most commonly sung, for campfire closings, are the simple, lyrical ones of:

Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lake,
from the hills,
from the sky;
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
