SONGS OF THE SOUL

SILENCE

The earth, the planets playIn and through the sun-born raysIn majesty profound.  Umpire Time  In silence sublime  Doth watch  This cosmic match.
The Author of the great gameAssumes no spoken name;—With boundless poiseHe 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.
