THE ROSE OF SILENCE, by ELLA YOUNG First Line: In a green stillness hidden from sun and moon Last Line: The rose of silence and night. | |||
In a green stillness hidden from sun and moon Under the sea, A blossom swings by the High-Queen's doon On a silver tree; And every poet has dreamed since time begun Of that hidden place, But only those who have said farewell to the sun May come to the doon by the silver tree Or find in hollow or height, Under the still green tideless sea The Rose of Silence and Night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY LADY OF DREAMS by ELLA YOUNG THE BOUGH OF TIME by ELLA YOUNG THE WIND FROM THE WEST by ELLA YOUNG OF MONEY by BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 14.
