Quiet Night, upon the din
Swallowing up the brightest sin
Take from me the pain within
Let your peace come breezing in

Quiet Night, with darkened setting
Let me sleep in peace, begetting
Solitary-silence, absent of fretting
So filled with emptiness of evil's netting

Quiet Night, I sit with you
I seat myself, far from the feud
Of bickering, bustling people who
Don't stop a moment to see what's true

Quiet Night, I'll remain here
Until the dawn of day comes near
Until the new and anxious fear
Comes back to me to hold me dear
