| 67. Silence Sings |
| |
| SO faint, no ear is sure it hears, | |
| So faint and far; | |
| So vast that very near appears | |
| My voice, both here and in each star | |
| Unmeasured leagues do bridge between; | 5 |
| Like that which on a face is seen | |
| Where secrets are; | |
| Sweeping, like veils of lofty balm, | |
| Tresses unbound | |
| O'er desert sand, o'er ocean calm, | 10 |
| I am wherever is not sound; | |
| And, goddess of the truthful face, | |
| My beauty doth instil its grace | |
| That joy abound. | |
