The Creatures of the Field

Lyrics

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 thе earth And why? See how she searchеs the darkened sky Who is there among us to sing her a lullaby? Sing me a lullaby
