In Memoriam, A. M. W.

Topics: classic

SEPTEMBER 1910     (For a Solemn Music)     Out of a silence     The voice of music speaks.     When words have no more power,     When tears can tell no more,     The heart of all regret     Is uttered by a falling wave     Of melody.     No more, no more     The voice that gathered us     Shall hush us with deep joy;     But in this hush,     Out of its silence,     In the awaking of music,     It shall return.     For music can renew     Its gladness and communion,     Until we also sink,     Where sinks the voice of music,     Into a silence.
