Silence on a hill where the path
ended and then the forest below
moving in one long whisper
as evening touched the leaves.

As
I lay me down to sleep, this I pray:
that you will hold me dear.
Though I'm far
away I whisper
your name into the sky,
and I will wake up happy.

Ah! you are so great, and I am so small,
I tremble to think of you, World, at all;
And yet, when I said my prayers to-day,
A whisper inside me seemed to say,
"You are more than the earth,
I tremble to think of you, World, at all;
And yet, when I said my prayers to-day,
A whisper inside me seemed to say,
"You are more than the earth,
though you are such a dot;
You can love and think,
You can love and think,
and the earth cannot!

the sky I see the halo of your violence.
Storm I know
you are coming.

To be partakers of our honey talk.

The old, like children, talk to themselves,
for they have reached that hopeless wisdom
of experience which knows that though one
were to cry it in the streets to multitudes,
or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved,
the only ears that can ever hear one's
secrets are one's own!
