night in the country by cynthia ryland

pictures by mary cinlogi

there is no night so dark

so black

as night in the country

in little houses people lie sleeping and

dreaming about daytime things

while outside in the fields and by the

rivers and deep in the trees

there is only night

and nighttime things

there are owls

great owls with marble eyes who swoop

among the trees

and who are not afraid of night in the

country

night birds

there are frogs

night frogs who sing songs for you every

night reek

freak

freak

freak

night songs

and if you are one of those people in

one of those little houses

and if you cannot sleep

you will hear the sounds of night in the

country

all around you

[Music]

outside the dog's chain clinks

as he gets up for a drink of water

far over the hill you hear someone

open and close a creaking screen door

you wonder who is up so late

and if you lie

very still

you may hear an apple fall from the tree

in the backyard listen

pump

later the rabbits will pattern into your

yard and eat pieces of your fallen

apples

but only when they think you are asleep

[Applause]

and all around you on a night in the

country

are the groans and thumps

and squeaks that houses make when they

are trying like you

to sleep

outside

a raccoon mother licks her babies

a cow

nuzzles her calf

an old pig rolls over in the barn

[Applause]

and toward morning

one small bird will be the first to tell

everyone

that night in the country is nearly over

[Music]

the owls will go to sleep

the frogs will grow quiet

the rabbits will run away

[Music]

then they will spend a day in the

country
