BE no word spoken. Hide away Thought and feeling day by day. Let them rise and pour their light And set like planets in the night, Unheralded, unpraised, unheard. Watch them, love them, say no word. Heart knows not to speak with heart. Song and speech can ne'er impart Faith by which we live and die; A thought once spoken is a lie. Unbroken, undefiled, unstirred Thy fountain: drink, and say no word. Live within thyself, and be In a world of faerie, Of magic thoughts that hide away From the noise and glare of day, Delicate airs on earth unheard, Mark them, love them, say no word. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GROWN-UP TALK by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE MARMOZET by HILAIRE BELLOC THE CITY REVISITED by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ON THE INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY, 1919 by ROBERT FROST THE LEAVES OF THE TREE HIDE THE SUN by DAVID IGNATOW TO TIME by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
