Subject(s): Silence
O voices of Love's silences
Exultant in my heart to-day,
You cry to me from far away,
Yet nearer than my heart to me,
Because the voice of silence is
The whisper of eternity.
A little while a little speech
Is ours to speak of mortal things,
But when the rustling of his wings
Betrays the immortal presence near,
What our hearts answer each to each
Only the silence dares to hear.
