First Line: Words are hid in the depths of me
Last Line: But the spoken word is master of me!
Subject(s): Language; Words; Vocabulary


Words are hid in the depths of me,
Clamoring ever, wild to be free;
Words that would cost the tongue too dear,
Words that would bring the tragic tear
To piteous eyes in an ashen face;
Words, slink back to your hiding place!
Unspoken word, I am master of thee, --
But the spoken word is master of me!
