The home grows more still
As the sky makes no sound
Hundreds of sparrows
Have swoon their way down
Crows on the rooftop
(Never there before?)
One stubborn mule
Stands put at the door
The chickens they cackle
The rooster he crows
The pigs they seem happy
The cows they move slow
A barnyard vigil
That watches and grows
A boy plays his hymn
To whom no one knows
Death kicks his heels
As the mule takes the blow
Pride bites down hard
The boy cries out slow
As the sky makes no sound
Hundreds of sparrows
Have swoon their way down
Crows on the rooftop
(Never there before?)
One stubborn mule
Stands put at the door
The chickens they cackle
The rooster he crows
The pigs they seem happy
The cows they move slow
A barnyard vigil
That watches and grows
A boy plays his hymn
To whom no one knows
Death kicks his heels
As the mule takes the blow
Pride bites down hard
The boy cries out slow
