Explore "A Love Song" by Theodosia Pickrering Garrison on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My love it should be silent, being deep -- / And being very peaceful should be still -- / Still as the utmost depths of ocean keep -- / Serenely silent as some mighty hill.
Yet is my love so great it needs must fill / With very joy the inmost heart of me, / The joy of dancing branches on the hill, / The joy of leaping waves upon the sea.
