Bells of a music softly spoken, Valley music hushed in the air, Purity-white is its theme and token, Fair, O fair! Cups of a fragrance freely healing, Cups turned downward but full for aye, Purity-sacrament, -- souls a-kneeling, Pray, O pray! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NUNS PAINTING WATER-LILIES by WALLACE STEVENS THE SECRET GARDEN by ELEANOR WILNER THE CLOTE (WATER-LILY) by WILLIAM BARNES THE LILY, FR.
