THEN SHALL YE SHOUT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: It seems an easy thing
Last Line: Our love-song while we wait.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


IT seems an easy thing
Mayhap one day to sing;
Yet the next day
We cannot sing or say.

Keep silence with good heart,
While silence fits our part:
Another day
We shall both sing and say.

Keep silence, counting time
To strike in at the chime:
Prepare to sound, --
Our part is coming round.

Can we not sing or say?
In silence let us pray,
And meditate
Our love-song while we wait.
