BE no word spoken. Hide away Thought and feeling day by day. Let them rise and pour their light And set like planets in the night, Unheralded, unpraised, unheard. Watch them, love them, say no word. Heart knows not to speak with heart. Song and speech can ne'er impart Faith by which we live and die; A thought once spoken is a lie. Unbroken, undefiled, unstirred Thy fountain: drink, and say no word. Live within thyself, and be In a world of faerie, Of magic thoughts that hide away From the noise and glare of day, Delicate airs on earth unheard, Mark them, love them, say no word. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CEMETERY BY THE SEA by PAUL VALERY MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS by HENRY GLASSFORD BELL RELIGION AND DOCTRINE by JOHN MILTON HAY THE ONE GRAY HAIR by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR BITTERNESS by VICTORIA MARY SACKVILLE-WEST SLUMBER FAIRIES by KATHARINE LEE BATES PSALM 58 (VERSION 1) by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
