what gladdens what quickens
what withers silently
while summer beckons
while silent winds gather
when evening comes
what chorus fades, echoes
what refrain pauses soft
when even dust settles
and in darkness is lost
what silence do they hear
what mirages what ashes
where pavilions were razed
who endures who prevails
when dusk invites confidences
what muted march resumes
where the path passes the houses
who listens, who endures
and how do they pay the price
and how do they pay the price
