Sound and Light
written by William Henry Davies
From "My Garden", 1933 Link to further information




When I stand here alone at night,
And see but nothing hear -
The silence of so many stars
Is almost pain to bear.

Yet if I heard one creak in Heaven,
One little break or move -
What would become of Faith and Hope,
And of the Gods we love?

If but one star cried out at night,
To burst like any pod -
Where shall we find, in all the Heavens,
A chapel for our God?
