DOXOLOGY (FOR THE DEAF), by RUTH FORTNEY MAXWELL
First Line: I'll never, never hear again
Last Line: Those sounds that once I knew.
Subject(s): Deafness
First Line: I'll never, never hear again
Last Line: Those sounds that once I knew.
Subject(s): Deafness
I'll never, never hear again
The honk of wild geese flying,
The crickets chirp, soft breezes blow
Just as day is dying.
I'll never, never hear again
Soft cooing of the dove,
The wren's gay song at break of day --
Those nature sounds, I love.
I'll never hear so many things
That other people do
But oh, I'm glad I can recall
Those sounds that once I knew.
