Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love; Silence
There is a bird that, in her throat,
Turns half her song to laughter:
She is the woman for my ears —
But who shall I kiss after?
Find me a woman for my eyes,
Who'll waste no time in song;
To spend with her a silence that
Exceeds the sweetest song.
Take her, who loves to hear a voice,
With notes that fall or rise —
While I enjoy the spawny light
That spreads in silent eyes.
