The Creatures of the Field |
| And the creatures of the field |
| Waited in the silence of Gabriel’s departing |
| And in the meadow kneeled |
| Still but for the sound of a frightened faun starting |
| 'Til the owl said: |
| Who raised up a clamor so harsh and deep? |
| The owl said: |
| Who caused gentle Mary to fret and weep? |
| Her window glows brightly |
| I fear that she cannot sleep. |
| Mary paced her room |
| Wishing that her heartbeat |
| Would cease its fearful pounding |
| Peered into the gloom |
| Silent as a tomb, |
| Not one distant drum sounding |
| As the owl said: |
| Who caused such a stillness to mystify the earth- |
| And why? |
| See how she searches the darkened sky. |
| Who is there among us to sing her a lullaby? |
| Sing me a lullaby… |
