Archibald Lampman - Voices of EarthArchibald Lampman - Voices of Earth
Work rating: Low


  We have not heard the music of the spheres,   The song of star to star, but there are sounds   More deep than human joy and human tears,   That Nature uses in her common rounds;   The fall of streams, the cry of winds that strain   The oak, the roaring of the sea`s surge, might   Of thunder breaking afar off, or rain   That falls by minutes in the summer night.   These are the voices of earth`s secret soul,   Uttering the mystery from which she came.   To him who hears them grief beyond control,   Or joy inscrutable without a name,   Wakes in his heart thoughts bedded there, impearled,   Before the birth and making of the world.
