Graveyard

Nothing has moved in this town.

Nothing at all. Only the soundless dark

And the wonder of night that came like wind

Unseen have wandered down these final streets.

Only the silent have come upon this mark.

There is no town so quiet on any earth,

Nor any house so dark upon the mind.

Only the night is here, and the dead

Under the hard blind eyes of hill and tree.

Here lives sleep. Here the dead are free.
