Camp Night Life

It’s the end of the day. You have marched and drilled for several hours.You have participated in a thrilling battle. You have spent time cleaning your weapon and getting your equipment put away. And after you have eaten a hearty dinner and washed the last dish, it’s finally time to relax. The campfire is lit. The 7th Tennessee gathers round as the first stars come out. Night time at a reenactment; there’s nothing like it.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
 
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
