In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing

In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing

T. S. Eliot

The nightingales are singing near The Convent of the Sacred Heart, And sang within the bloody wood When Agamemnon cried aloud, And let their liquid siftings fall To stain the stiff dishonored shroud.

T. S. Eliot

Fall, Heart, Singing
