A SONG OF THE SILENT SOULS, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Some can talk, sagacious tender Last Line: Of the silent souls! Subject(s): Silence | ||||||||
Some can talk, sagacious, tender, Strong discourse and rare; Others fill the room with splendor Just by being there. Some can drive the world to duty By a brandished knife; Others by the silent beauty Of a loving life. Some are praised to highest heaven Through a brilliant hour; Others as a quiet leaven Wield eternal power. Fine are speech and valiant action Where the triumph rolls; But -- the endless satisfaction Of the silent souls! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG OF SILENCE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON TANKA DIARY (9) by HARRYETTE MULLEN 7 A.M., A MAN AND A WOMAN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
