Katharine Blake - The Voiceless Silence lyrics

Once in the world's first prime When nothing lived or stirred Nothing but newborn time Nor was there ever a bird The silence spoke to a star But I do not dare repeat What it said to its love afar It was too sweet too sweet But there in the faire world's youth Ere sorrow had drawn breath When nothing was known but truth Nor was there even d**h The star to silence was wed And the sun was priest that day And they made their bridal bed High in the milky way For the great white star had heard Her silent love's speech It needed no pa**ionate word To pledge them each to each Lady fair and far Hear, oh, hear and apply Thou beautiful star The voiceless silence
