TIE VALLEY OF SILENCE

[The following tender and beautiful poem Is by
the Rev, Father Ryan, sometimes called the poet
priest Of the South j
walked down the Valley OF Silence
Down the dim, yoiceless valley--alOne;
And hear not the fall OF tootStep
Around me-saye Gods and my own;
Aud the hush Of my heart is as holy
AS hovers where angels have flown.
Long ago was weary Of voices
Whose music my heart could not win,
Long ago was weary Of noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago was weary Of places
Where met with the human and sin.
walked throHgh the world with the worldly
Icraved what the world never gave;
And said, 'In the world each ideal
That shines like star on life's wave.
Isshone on the shores Of the real
And sleeps like dream in grave"
And still pine on for the Perfect
And still found the False with the True;
And sought mid the Human for Heaven,
But caught new glimpse Of the blue
And wept when the clouds Of the Mortal,
Yelled even that glimpse from my view.
And toiled on heart-tlred Of the Human,
And moaned through the mazes Of men,
TIL Knelt long ago at an altar
And heard voice call me, since then.
walked down the Valley Of Silence.
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what found in the valleyH
'Tis my trying place with the Divine.
And I fell AT the feet Of the HolV
And about me a voice said, "be mine"
There arose from the depth Of my spirit
An echo, my heart shall be thine"
Doyou ask how live in the ValleyH
Iweep, and dream, and pray,
But my tears are assweet as the dew-drops
That fall on the roses in May;
And my prayer like the perfume from censeEs
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley of Silence,
dream all the songs that sing
And the music floats In the dim Valley,
Till each finds word for wing,
That to men, like the Doves of the Delugo,
The message of peace they mayibring.
But far on the deep there are billoWs
That never break in on the beach
And have heard songs in the silence
Thatnever shall float into speech;
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts 1.-THE Valley
All me how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the Valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word.
Do you ask me the place of the Valley
Ye hearts that are narrowed by carer
tlieth afar between mountains,
And God and his Angels are there
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow.
And one the bright mountain Of Prayer.
