Subject(s): Echoes; Musical Instruments; Silence
Snapped! -- is the string of the Harp,
And ended is the singing.
The Storyteller's tale is told;
And the Bell's stopped ringing.
Yet is there silence? No, ah no!
The Echoes will not have it so.
And all the Dead are dumb, you say?
But who so eloquent as they!
