THE LOUD SILENCE, by SUSIE MONTGOMERY BEST First Line: His noise disturbed me - I could not abide Last Line: How loud, how very loud the silence seems. Subject(s): Silence | ||||||||
His noise disturbed me -- I could not abide The thrilling of his horn, the rush of feet, The slam of doors, and many sounds unsweet, But these I hear no more for he has died. The quiet breaks my heart -- it haunts my dreams, For, since no sound from him can break the air, I only think and think with dumb despair, How loud, how very loud the silence seems. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG OF SILENCE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON TANKA DIARY (9) by HARRYETTE MULLEN 7 A.M., A MAN AND A WOMAN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CHILD OF MARY'S SOUL by SUSIE MONTGOMERY BEST |
