A SONG! What songs have died Upon the earth, Voices of love and pride -- Of tears and mirth? Fading as hearts forget, As shadows flee! Vain is the voice of song, And yet -- I sing to thee! A song! What ocean shell Were silent long, If in thy touch might dwell Its all of song? A song? Then near my heart Thy cheek must be, For, like the shell, it sings -- Sweet Heart -- To thee, of thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VOYAGE OF MAELDUNE by ALFRED TENNYSON THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE by FRANCIS BEAUMONT THIRD YPRES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN GRACE AFTER MEAT (2) by ROBERT BURNS FISHING by MAXWELL STRUTHERS BURT YOUTH SPEAKS by MABEL M.
