Inaudibie move day and night
And noiseless grows the flower:
Silent are pulsing wings of light,
And voiceless fleets the hour.
Tho moon utters no word when she
Walks through the heavens bare:
The stars forever silent flee,
And songless gleam through air.
The deepest love Is voiceless. too:
Heart sorrow makes no moan:
How still the zephyrs when they woo
How calm the rose full blown!
The bird plnging the evening sky
Flies onward without song;
The crowding years as they pass b.
Flow on a. mutest throng.
The fishes glide through liquid deep
And never speak word.
The angels round about us sweep
And yet no voice Is heard.
The highest thoughts no utterance find,
The holiest hope Is dumb
In silence grows the immortal mind,
And, speechless, deep joys come.
Rapt alteration has no tongue.
No words has holiest prayer.
shs loftiest mountain peaks among

with sweetest music silence blends
And silent praise IL best;
in silence life begins and ends:
