WHISPER by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: CLOSE CLEAVING UNTO SILENCE, INTO SOUND
Last Line: LEST SUDDENLY SHE LOSE HER SISTER'S HAND.

CLOSE cleaving unto Silence, into sound
She ventures as a timorous child from land,
Still glancing, at each wary step, around,
Lest suddenly she lose her sister's hand.
