BE no word spoken. Hide away Thought and feeling day by day. Let them rise and pour their light And set like planets in the night, Unheralded, unpraised, unheard. Watch them, love them, say no word. Heart knows not to speak with heart. Song and speech can ne'er impart Faith by which we live and die; A thought once spoken is a lie. Unbroken, undefiled, unstirred Thy fountain: drink, and say no word. Live within thyself, and be In a world of faerie, Of magic thoughts that hide away From the noise and glare of day, Delicate airs on earth unheard, Mark them, love them, say no word. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SOCIOLOGY OF TOYOTAS AND JADE CHRYSANTHEMUMS by HAYDEN CARRUTH A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A FLORIDA GHOST by SIDNEY LANIER ON A CERTAIN CRITIC by AMY LOWELL BROTHERHOOD (2) by EDWIN MARKHAM DOMESDAY BOOK: AT NICE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: PENNIWIT, THE ARTIST by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
