The Frontier Coasts

I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea, / And the silence of the city when it pauses, / And the silence of a man and a maid, / And the silence for which music alone finds the word, / And the silence of the woods before the winds of spring begin, / And the silence of the sick / When their eyes roam about the room.
Edgar Lee Masters, Silence
