Why Does She Weep?

Hush then     why do you cry?     It's you and me     the same as before.     If you hear a rustle     it's only a rabbit     gone back to his hole     in a bustle.     If something stirs in the branches     overhead, it will be a squirrel moving     uneasily, disturbed by the stress     of our loving.     Why should you cry then?     Are you afraid of God     in the dark?     I'm not afraid of God.     Let him come forth.     If he is hiding in the cover     let him come forth.     Now in the cool of the day     it is we who walk in the trees     and call to God "Where art thou?"     And it is he who hides.     Why do you cry?     My heart is bitter.     Let God come forth to justify     himself now.     Why do you cry?     Is it Wehmut, ist dir weh?     Weep then, yea     for the abomination of our old righteousness,     We have done wrong     many times;     but this time we begin to do right.     Weep then, weep     for the abomination of our past righteousness.     God will keep     hidden, he won't come forth.
