Silence at Night - Darkwood

There is a silence when people frown

The healing hand of strangled sound

There is a silence ghostlike and strained

In the fervent heat when the senses fade

At night, at night

At night, at night

There is a silence of afternoon

When the thoughts will stop in a sudden boon

There is a silence of peace — beguiled

If the tribes become reconciled

At night, at night

At night, at night

There is a silence when the North wind stops

And the Eastern storm brings the locust plague

There is a silence if the pact is revealed

The dark concealment, secrets sealed

At night, at night

At night, at night

There is a silence if the errand is late

A ghostlike calm, a breath of fate

There is a silence in the dimming light

And there is the silence, the silence

At night, at night

At night, at night
