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
