THE SHELL by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: SILENCE - A DEEPER SEA
Last Line: HATH TAUGHT THEE SONG.
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.
