Harmonies (Howe collection)/Broken Stillness
BROKEN STILLNESS
Say you the gentlest note of Nature's speech
Falls with the last faint raindrops of the spring,
Or murmurs in the tide along the beach,
Or in the leaves to slow winds answering?
Gentle are these, but gentler, hark! how low—
The sibillant whisper of the falling snow.
