Silence is the speech of love,
The music of the spheres above.

Once when the days were ages,
And the old Earth was young,
The high gods and the sages
From Nature's golden pages
Her open secrets wrung.
Each questioned each to know
Whence came the Heavens above, and whence the Earth below.

It beckons, I follow. Good by to the light!
I am going, oh! whither? Out into the night!
