"Still falls the rain"

"Still falls the rain,the veils of darkness shroud the blackened trees,
which, contorted by some unseen violence,shed their tired leaves,
and bend their boughs toward a gray earth of severed bird wings.

all those that would listen. Mute birds, tired of repeating yesterdays
terrors,huddle together in the recesses of dark corners,
