There's No One

There's no one sleeping in the pines tonight No bowery bed, no soft word said In the moonlit silence, there's no one There's no bird singing 'gainst the cold tonight No mourning dove, no flashing wing of white At dawn takes flight, there's no one There's no one If even once, the mind unfolds And summons love of old Thus further fall Unbinding all things known and thus it's so That there's no one There's no foot crunching through the snow tonight No breaking bread, no kindness met In the aching moonlight, there's no one There's no ghost slipping through the briars tonight No memory, no beacon burning bright Awakes the mind, there's no one There's no one If even once, the mind unfolds And summons love of old Thus further fall Unbinding all things known and thus it's so That there's no one There's no one
