In the quiet of the library,160Please respect copyright.PENANATr5aEkmWSv
I find solace in the pages of a book.160Please respect copyright.PENANAz4P1wVV2EE
I can lose myself in stories,160Please respect copyright.PENANANbnZlYOzYw
Forget the troubles that may look.
But as I sit and read,160Please respect copyright.PENANAMzdt2Yca0P
I can't help but feel160Please respect copyright.PENANAG1VzNCd5C0
A sense of sadness in the air.160Please respect copyright.PENANAI6UvIzH75m
The rows of shelves once filled with life,160Please respect copyright.PENANAsjezmYw8O8
Now stand empty and bare.
No longer do the stacks teem with students,160Please respect copyright.PENANAzmxLxZ8yUY
Hunched over books, their noses in the fray.160Please respect copyright.PENANAfb9B7yI0Gw
No longer do the librarians bustle about,160Please respect copyright.PENANA7GGexIVkBa
Helping patrons find their way.
The silence is deafening,160Please respect copyright.PENANAEm0fVm1nyY
As I sit alone in the stacks.160Please respect copyright.PENANAayktCRfMmU
I miss the hum of conversation,160Please respect copyright.PENANA7RtrRC5Bsg
The sound of pens scratching on paper, the clack.
But even in this lonely place,160Please respect copyright.PENANAv77PtmT0ZJ
I find comfort in written words.160Please respect copyright.PENANAK2BvjdVk1u
So I'll sit and read and dream,160Please respect copyright.PENANA8hfhnub1it
In this silent, empty space.
