Suddenly

The dead go down violently, suddenly, silently Down in the drown of the deep The born rise up hopefully, suddenly, quietly Rise from the depths of their sleep The night will fall dreadfully, suddenly, softly Fall on the land in a heap The day shall jump joyfully, suddenly, gently Jump with a quickening leap Let the darkness dawn mournfully, suddenly, slowly Dark on the flood and the seep For the light shineth endlessly, suddenly, subtly Bright on the rivers we weep by Gail
