My house is still
My children sleep
No sound in any world so deep
As this.  A silent house
And mine asleep here. Mine - Oh God!
What monster waits somewhere for them?

Or -
Is it I
Who hover here
Near, near
Whom they should fear?

Your only son you sent to us
And we returned him in a tomb.

Now -
You send me sons
within my womb.
I fear this silent house.
My babies sleep.
