THE SHELL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Silence - a deeper sea
Last Line: Hath taught thee song.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Silence


Silence -- a deeper sea --
Now sunders thee
Save from the primal tone --
Thy mother's moan.

Within her waves, hadst thou
No voice as now;
A life of exile long
Hath taught thee song.
