SILENT MUSIC

O would that I could each day, each night long

Hum the songs you like to hear, O dear

Should I?

In a lowly voice recite mellowed phrases each dawn,

While you relax in the lush lawn

Or should I?

Each night sing melodies which singers envy

And listening to them, nature rejoices

Or should I?

Keep mum and do nothing and take pride even then

Feel happy for having you beside

Should I?

Just through looks listening to you

As you know the magic of making music from silence

I'd wonder if anyone knows your magic

And I fear to lose you in music,
I need you more than those enchanting melodies dear
