First Line: In silence mighty things are wrought
Last Line: Is strengthened silently.
Subject(s): Cities; Silence; Urban Life
IN silence mighty things are wrought --
Silently builded, thought on thought,
Truth's temple greets the sky;
And like a citadel with towers,
The soul with her subservient powers
Is strengthened silently.
