There is a silence in the staid night,
And a mockingbird calls by the shining moon
His cry is the loneliness of black-dyed skies
Glad with the cosmos' fair-flung boon.
White wings lift like storks in the painted shade
Leaves whisper thanks as they flutter down,
Through the still shadow, magnolias hush:
One single feather drifts onto the ground.
