Away, the distant gales bring The noblest trees to weeping. Far above the valleys sweeping, Isolated church-bells ring. Beyond the brittle urban winds Of cities never sleeping, A mute and mournful nightly breezing Sweeps the moon upon its wings. Somewhere cold and far away. Peace is never truly lost It merely doesn't stay. Raptured by the valley-frost Into the veiled sea of grey: Often gone, but never lost. Simply weeping Far away.

Ode To Silence
Away, the distant gales bring The noblest trees to weeping. Far above the valleys sweeping, Isolated church-bells ring. Beyond the brittle urban winds Of cities never sleeping, A mute and mournful nightly breezing Sweeps the moon upon its wings. Somewhere cold and far away. Peace is never truly lost It merely doesn't stay. Raptured by the valley-frost Into the veiled sea of grey: Often gone, but never lost. Simply weeping Far away.
