Hush now, the hills lean close in, 
cradling the town in green-field arms.
The houses huddle, blinking from night lit rooms,

Pain and cries.

But here, it's a tomb of joy which sweeps 
Sweeping away ...

Shouting, over the sounds of rain, feelings
more commanding than the season’s pain
erasing the hope from hearts, but who’s to blame
