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...'
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...'
