SONGS UNHEARD If you should think I have no song to sing, Whose singing is too timorous for notes, Think how a startled bird takes instant wing For leafy shadows and dimhidden cotes; How daybreak can confuse the trembling star; And how the whispers of the tender grass Hide beneath footfalls and strong winds that are Like pilgrim choirs, so unabashed they pass. For songs can grow more quiet than quietude, And many find not life till lips are dumb, Then listen from some gentle solitude To patient suppliants, my songs. They come With silent harmonies and noteless themes To bring you joy of heart and tranquil dreams. —Doris M. Gill.
