There is a quiet in the winterwood, The strange dark beauty of pine forest things - The nightbirds that rise on shadowy wings And the phantom trees in their solitude. The round lyric moon lingers, motionless, Then leans like a lover to kiss the lake; She touches the surface as if to wake The still, dark water with her light caress. There is a silence in the midnight wood, Yet in the silence, still the sound Of wood creatures watching from limb and ground To keep their sanctuary's solemn mood. I watch with them in worship and in awe, Then whisper a prayer before I withdraw. |
