IN THIS EPISODE: "Now All the Woods Are Sleeping" by Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) On the slope of the hill stood a cottage, where a mother sat at the bed of her sick child. From fear of endangering the life of her little one, she would not, in the cold September night, flee with it to the woods, as most of the other inhabitants had done. But now, when the firing and murdering began in the place, and the smoke of the burning houses came down from the hill into the valley, then the poor lone woman was fearful unto death.
