The Sundial - Sonnet of Silence Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • There are some qualities - some incorporate things,
  • That have a double life, which thus is made
  • A type of that twin entity which springs
  • From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.
  • There is a two-fold _Silence_ - sea and shore -
  • Body and Soul. One dwells in lonely places,
  • Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces,
  • Some human memories and tearful lore,
  • Render him berrorless: his name's "No more."
  • He is the corporate Silence: dread him not!
  • No power hath he of evil in himself;
  • But should some urgent fate (untime ly lot!)
  • Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf,
  • That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod
  • No foot of man), commend thyself to God!
