O voices of Love's silences Exultant in my heart to-day, You cry to me from far away, Yet nearer than my heart to me, Because the voice of silence is The whisper of eternity. A little while a little speech Is ours to speak of mortal things, But when the rustling of his wings Betrays the immortal presence near, What our hearts answer each to each Only the silence dares to hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN HALLOWED GROUND by THOMAS CAMPBELL THE BABES IN THE WOOD; OR, THE NORFOLK TRAGEDY by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM THE ECCENTRIC by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN WANDERING WILLIE by ROBERT BURNS |
