The day dies in the western sky;
The sunset splendor fades, and wan and cold
The far peaks wait the sunrise; cheerily
The gathered calls his wanderers to the fold.
My weary soul, that fain would cease to roam,
Take comfort; evening bringeth al things home.
Homeward the swift winged sea gull takes her flight;
The ebbing tide breaks softer on the sand;
The red sailed boats draw shoreward for the night,
The shadows deepen over sea and land.
Be still, my soul, thine hour shall also come;
Behold, one evening, God shall lead thee home!

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is commonly believed to be the only English sentence devised to include all the letters of the alphabet. However, typesetters and designers have alternatively employed "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."
