To a Silent Man
That you should love is not enough for me,
Come tell your love with pleasing courtesy.
I keep no faith in silence, I am wild and weak;
Now by the beauty of all wandering fires, I beg you speak.
Here is a rout of whispered loves and laughter,
And I must turn about and follow after.
To hymn Love, to live because of Beauty,
That is Love's life, that is a lover's duty.
Can you not see I weep because I go?
Speak, dumb Man! Speak! Say, shall I stay or no?
Come tell your love with pleasing courtesy.
I keep no faith in silence, I am wild and weak;
Now by the beauty of all wandering fires, I beg you speak.
Here is a rout of whispered loves and laughter,
And I must turn about and follow after.
To hymn Love, to live because of Beauty,
That is Love's life, that is a lover's duty.
Can you not see I weep because I go?
Speak, dumb Man! Speak! Say, shall I stay or no?
