My love it should be silent, being deep -- And being very peaceful should be still -- Still as the utmost depths of ocean keep -- Serenely silent as some mighty hill. Yet is my love so great it needs must fill With very joy the inmost heart of me, The joy of dancing branches on the hill The joy of leaping waves upon the sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ORPHAN BOY'S TALE by AMELIA OPIE THE LATTICE AT SUNRISE by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER THE FLIGHT OF THE GODDESS by CELIA THAXTER A MARLOW MADRIGAL by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY ON THE BACKWARDNESS OF THE SPRING 1771 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD STELLA AND FLAVIA by MARY BARBER |
