Explore "The Message" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I have not the gift of vision, / I have not the psychic ear, / And the realms that are called Elysian / I neither see nor hear; / Yet oft when the shadows darken / And the daylight hides its face, / The soul of me seems to hearken / For the truths that speak through space.
They speak to me not through reason, / They speak to me not by word; / Yet my soul would be guilty of treason / If it did not say it had heard. / For Space has a message compelling / To give to the ear of Earth; / And the things which the Silence is telling / In the bosom of God have birth.
