A. M. W. SEPTEMBER, 1910 (FOR A SOLEMN MUSIC) OUT of a silence The voice of music speaks. When words have no more power, When tears can tell no more, The heart of all regret Is uttered by a falling wave Of melody. No more, no more The voice that gathered us Shall hush us with deep joy; But in this hush, Out of its silence, In the awaking of music, It shall return. For music can renew Its gladness and communion, Until we also sink, Where sinks the voice of music, Into a silence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINER NOTES TO AN IMAGINARY PLAYLIST by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 13 by CONRAD AIKEN BELIEVE, BELIEVE by BOB KAUFMAN ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE POWER OF MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES |
