IT seems an easy thing Mayhap one day to sing; Yet the next day We cannot sing or say. Keep silence with good heart, While silence fits our part: Another day We shall both sing and say. Keep silence, counting time To strike in at the chime: Prepare to sound, -- Our part is coming round. Can we not sing or say? In silence let us pray, And meditate Our love-song while we wait. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POOR MAILIE'S ELEGY by ROBERT BURNS THE RESPECTABLE BURGHER, ON 'THE HIGHER CRITICISM' by THOMAS HARDY THE PRINCESS: SONG by ALFRED TENNYSON WINE AND CITRON by ABU ABD ALLAH BE DRUNK by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE |
