The Hour Of Not Quite Rain

Buffalo Springfield · Buffalo Springfield 1973 [1973]

In the hour of not quite rain



When the fog was fingertip high



The moon hung suspended



In a singular sky



Deeply and beyond seeing



Not wishing to intrude



Bathed in its own reflection



The water mirrored the moon



The tumbling birds have now sobered



From the leaves of their nursery



Like shadowy, quiet children



Watching sleepily
