Souls Silence

O SILENCE of the in
nite Soul,

Settle in my heart;

Make each beat of its mortal hour

A fathomless part

Of thy unimaginable deep;

My growing mood,

A motionless inscrutable
re

Of thy solitude,

Unmarred by the foam of timeless waves

That rise and fall

Along a verge of wandering dream

Beyond earths call.

The luminous distances of life

Slowly retire

From the interruptions of dim thought

Into a higher

Existence, where for ever cease

All cry and stress

And vain shadows in a rhythmic sea

Of inwardness.
