SILENCE by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: THIS HUSH OF DEATH! HOW COULD I KNOW HEFORE
Last Line: SPEAKS NOT?
Subject(s): DEATH; SILENCE; DEAD, THE;

THIS hush of death! How could I know hefore,
When earthly speech was all of thee I heard,
So sweet a spirit of thy silence wore
Thy word?

How shall I live with you, oh world, and share
Your lot,
How talk with you, when the one voice I hear
Speaks not?
