SONGS OF THE SOUL

SILENCE

The earth, the planets play
In and through the sun-born rays
In majesty profound.
Umpire Time
In silence sublime
Doth watch
This cosmic match.

The Author of the great game
Assumes no spoken name;—
With boundless poise
He doth His will without a noise,
Ungrateful moods ignoring,
Unkindness all forgiving.

Truth clearly speaks to all,
But speaks not loud;
They hear its call
Who noises enthrall.
