Silence

Last updated: Nov 4, 2008

Silence also has a sound,
loud and uniformly found;
oft glacier in the lake,
that silence had to make.
A sound far from tone,
which silence ne’er shone.
A stain of unplay’d music,
A trance of serene magic:
a magic in verses pitch’d,
as space in time is stitch’d;
till time makes a classic din,
and blood gives blood to the kiln.
