SILENT THINGS by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: ALL SILENT THINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL
Last Line: WITHIN THE QUIET GROUND.
Subject(s): SILENCE;

ALL silent things are beautiful:
A hill with bended head;
A vesper hour that lifts its face
Framed in lingering red.

A beauty fingers silent things
So men who died have found
This beauty like a vesper sky
Within the quiet ground.
