Love's Rosary. 9 - ZaunköniG - 21.06.2007 IX. A SILENT VOICE. THEY bid me welcome in the proud New Year, Crowned with delight, his Minister the Sun— Monarch, whose sumptuous reign has just begun: Nay, I am deaf—their shouts I do not hear— I miss a voice that long ago was dear; A tender voice, whose lightest call had won My ear, my heart, my life, till life were done:— That voice is silent—theirs I will not hear. A little bird that finds the winter cold Comes out, and looks at me, and sings of him Who made the vanished summers warm; and, bold With sorrow, calls the New Year's splendor dim. Nay, bird, he is gone far who used to sing; And days, and months, and years no message bring. |
