Explore "Golden Silences" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is silence that saith, "Ah me! " / There is silence that nothing saith; / One the silence of life forlorn, / One the silence of death; / One is, and the other shall be.
One we know and have known for long, / One we know not, but we shall know, / All we who have ever been born; / Even so, be it so, -- / There is silence, despite a song.
Sowing day is a silent day, / Resting night is a silent night; / But whoso reaps the ripened corn / Shall shout in his delight, / While silences vanish away.
