Oh, far away—yo-hay!
What moony masque, what arrogant disguise
That life should be!
THE INNER SILENCE
Noises that strive to tear
Earth’s mantle soft of air
And break upon the stillness where it dwells:
The noise of battle and the noise of prayer,
The cooing noise of love that softly tells
Joy’s brevity, the brazen noise of laughter—
