Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Translated by Peter Salm
News of the Universe: Poems of Twofold Consciousness, Edited by Robert Bly

Over all the hilltops
Silence,
Among all the treetops
You feel hardly
A breath moving.
The birds fall silent in the woods.
Simply wait! Soon
You too will be silent.
