Down Here

Oh! it's quiet down here,

Yes, as quiet a mouse,

Save the sigh of the wind

And the clock in the house;

Oh! it's quiet down here!

If birdnote should break,

All the easygoing folk

In the village would wake —

Sure, its quiet down here!

Oh! it's quiet down here,

And thro' the long day

To the great God of Peace

I feel I must pray;

Oh! it's quiet down here.

But God very near!
