Wouldst Hear the Singing of the Spheres

by John Vance Cheney

John Vance Cheney

Wouldst hear the singing of the spheres,

Hark with closed ears;

Wouldst follow Beauty to her skies,

Look with closed eyes.

    Hands
    by Patience Worth
    E'es fail, grow weary wi' seein'. Lips still, grown heavy o' wordin'. Hearts stop, iced of emotion. Feet no longer move, but hands, Ah hands remain, Remain most eloquent of labor.
