Night in the Country by Cynthia Rylant spring wildflowers The Rat and the ElephantThere is no night so dark, so black as night in the country. And while the people dream of daytime things, the nighttime world awakens. Owls swoop, a rabbit patters, and in the yard an apple falls pump! from the tree. Listen. Go to the window. Across the field a light glows. Who else is up so late? Who else watches and hears the sights and sounds of night in the country the many stirrings of silence, the many colors of the dark?
