SILENCE. - ZaunköniG - 05.05.2009 SILENCE. When at the sound of noon-proclaiming bell, Quick as the note, throws by his spade the clown, And from his forehead clears the careful frown, With which, his work, before, he measured well; Comes Silence with admonitory spell: Oh changeful Silence, on the sedgy crown Of a blue mere as lights a wild bird down, Watching the air's vibration—thou dost dwell. Vague spirit, whom nor hymn nor voice evokes; But gazing Nature from her depths; and so E'en the cessation of dull earthly strokes Doth sanctify; behold the feathery snow Falls on a wood of monumental oaks, Stern and unmoved; and not a wind doth blow. |
