In the quiet of the library,210Please respect copyright.PENANA4n2WW7Siiw
I find solace in the pages of a book.210Please respect copyright.PENANAbBHFGC11N9
I can lose myself in stories,210Please respect copyright.PENANATeUFHFV41l
Forget the troubles that may look.
But as I sit and read,210Please respect copyright.PENANAo5cWUcNLd3
I can't help but feel210Please respect copyright.PENANAkBBLLtsNPo
A sense of sadness in the air.210Please respect copyright.PENANABkssSKWpuo
The rows of shelves once filled with life,210Please respect copyright.PENANAuisQS46cT1
Now stand empty and bare.
No longer do the stacks teem with students,210Please respect copyright.PENANAlqgH0pC64T
Hunched over books, their noses in the fray.210Please respect copyright.PENANAUCQCAWN707
No longer do the librarians bustle about,210Please respect copyright.PENANA6sIiOCQBmy
Helping patrons find their way.
The silence is deafening,210Please respect copyright.PENANA58ulyjjwgy
As I sit alone in the stacks.210Please respect copyright.PENANAmqPYILpKvf
I miss the hum of conversation,210Please respect copyright.PENANALXY7I5P4AJ
The sound of pens scratching on paper, the clack.
But even in this lonely place,210Please respect copyright.PENANAgOIngyzwmr
I find comfort in written words.210Please respect copyright.PENANAG505Q2NiDn
So I'll sit and read and dream,210Please respect copyright.PENANAswQxkOT2ge
In this silent, empty space.
