“Speak not, move not, but listen, the sky is full of gold. No ripple on the river, no stir in field or fold, All gleams but naught doth glisten, but the far-off unseen sea. Forget days past, heart broken, put all memory by! No grief on the green hillside, no pity in the sky, Joy that may not be spoken fills mead and flower and tree.”

Heart May Past Moving Joy Speak Memories Forget Grief Tree Sea Sky Fields Flower Broken Rivers Gold Green Pity Unseen Folds Ripple Gleam Heart Broke Mead Glisten
