GREAT STREETS OF SILENCE LED AWAY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: For period exhaled
Subject(s): Silence


Great Streets of silence led away
To Neighborhoods of Pause -
Here was no Notice - no Dissent
No Universe - no laws -

By Clocks, 'twas Morning, and for Night
The Bells at Distance called -
But Epoch had no basis here
For Period exhaled.
