Show THINGS DONE IN SILENCE. In silence miphty tliicga aro wrought, Silently builded thought on tlioulit, Truth's temple greets the sky 1 And, liko a citadel with towore, The sul, with her Fubsoi-vient powers, Is strengthened silently. Soundless as chariots on the snow, Tlii sapling on Die forest grow To trees of mighty girth, Each nightly star in silence burns And every day in silence turnB Tho aile of iho earth. Tho lilent froit, with mighty hand, Fettors tlio rivers and tho laud With univcnal chain, And smitten by the silont sun, Tho chain is loosnd, the rivers run, The lands are free again. |
