THE WORD


In sound and silence THE WORD now heard
In the sweet melody of the songbird
In the whisper of the wind upon leaf and bloom
In the warmth of sun this very noon
In sound and silence THE WORD now known
In all grace, love and beauty shown.

Ophelia, 1894, Oil on canvas, John William Waterhouse, 1849-1917
