ECHO, by                    
First Line: I'm voluble; I'm voiceless; I am echo: I reply
Last Line: But if you're silent, so am I. How well I mind my tongue!
Alternate Author Name(s): Archias
Subject(s): Echo (mythology)


I'M voluble; I'm voiceless; I am Echo: I reply
To all I hear; so heed your talk as you are passing by.
Whatever word you say I shall return to you, reflung:
But if you're silent, so am I. How well I mind my tongue!
