First Line: No life - no sound! / the night's caress
Last Line: In the chord of day.
Subject(s): Silence
No life -- no sound!
The night's caress
Of dreams abound
In loveliness.
No word -- no note
Except the flute
In a robin's throat:
A song minute.
A pale gleam riding
The wayward breeze
Brings out from hiding
Nebulous trees.
The earth is hushed
But no star glows,
For dawn has brushed
The sky with rose
And light transcends
Long night's delay,
As the prelude ends
In the chord of day.
