IT IS NOT A WORD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: It is not a word spoken
Last Line: That sleep so light a sleep.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


It is not a word spoken,
Few words are said;
Nor even a look of the eyes
Nor a bend of the head,
But only a hush of the heart
That has too much to keep,
Only memories waking
That sleep so light a sleep.
