TO SILENCE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WHY THE WARNING FINGER-TIP?
Last Line: "HUSHED FOR ALL ETERNITY."
Subject(s): SILENCE;
Why the warning finger-tip
Pressed forever on thy lip?
"To remind the pilgrim Sound
That it moves on holy ground,
In a breathing-space to be
Hushed for all eternity."
