| Silent Eyes written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Loneliest Mountain", 1939 | Link to further information |
There is a bird that, in her throat,
Turns half her song to laughter:
She is the woman for my ears -
But who shall I kiss after?
Find me a woman for her eyes,
Who'll waste no time in song;
To spend with her silence that
Exceeds the sweetest song.
Take her, who loves to hear a voice,
With notes that fall or rise -
While I enjoy the spawny light
That spreads in silent eyes.
