Keep Quiet

Here 
we 
are 
in 
this 
worthy 
woods,
the 
most 
serene 
abode 
of 
animals.
Let 
us 
not 
talk 
aloud,
but 
whisper,
as 
noise 
will 
disturb 
the 
denizens
peacefully 
breathing 
here.

Follow 
me, 
keeping 
quiet!

O 
hark!
There's 
abrupt 
tremulous 
twitter
and 
clamour 
of 
coos
in 
the 
branchy 
green
of 
these 
tall-
tall 
trees!

May 
be 
some 
monkeys've 
heard
the 
rustles 
here
and 
higher 
up 
on 
the 
trees
they've 
climbed 
anon
to 
alert 
all 
others
that's 
spoiled 
the 
sublime 
silence
of 
those 
feathered 
creatures!
