First Line: And will she never hold her tongue
Last Line: No more of bangle, scarf or feather.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Silence
And will she never hold her tongue,
About that feather in her hat;
Her scarf, when she has done with that,
And then the bangle on her wrist;
And is my silence meant to make
Her talk the more -- the more she's kissed?
At last, with silence matching mine,
She feels the passion deep and strong,
That fears to trust a timid tongue.
Say, Love -- that draws us close together --
Isn't she the very life of Death?
No more of bangle, scarf or feather.
