MOUNTAIN VOICES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Overhead the waters falling
Last Line: There is silence in my heart.
Alternate Author Name(s): Greene, G. A.


OVERHEAD the waters falling
Where the hills are riven apart;
Mystic mountain voices calling --
Mountain voices vainly calling:
There is silence in my heart.

Now Before is gone, and After
Drags along with saddened smart;
Echoes rise of children's laughter --
Rise, and fall, of children's laughter:
There is silence in my heart.

Mountain Voice! now wild and eery,
Now so sweet! whate'er thou art,
Let me go, for I am weary --
Worn, forlorn, and very weary:
There is silence in my heart.
