QUATRAIN: HEARING AND SPEECH by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN

First Line: IF I WERE DEAF, AND YET THE SMALL VOICE HEARD
Last Line: GOD IN THE SILENCE WOULD BE SURE TO FIND.
If I were deaf, and yet the small voice heard --
A whisper only, softer than the wind;
Though dumb, the prayer for which I had no word
God in the silence would be sure to find.
