O wind and waters, ye alone Have chanted the primeval tone Since Nature first began. All other voices change, but ye Abide, the soul of harmony Interpreting the man. He listens, and his heart is fain To fashion an immortal strain; Yet his sublimest lay Is but the music of a tongue Attuned to silence, and among The echoes dies away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
