I walk down the Valley of Silence	A
Down the dim voiceless valley alone	B
And I hear not the fall of a footstep	C
Around me save God's and my own	B
And the hush of my heart is as holy	D
As hovers where angels have flown	B
	-
Long ago was I weary of voices	E
Whose music my heart could not win	F
Long ago was I weary of noises	G
That fretted my soul with their din	F
Long ago was I weary of places	E
Where I met but the human and sin	F
	-
I walked in the world with the worldly	D
I craved what the world never gave	H
And I said In the world each Ideal	I
That shines like a star on life's wave	H
Is wrecked on the shores of the Real	I
And sleeps like a dream in a grave	H
	-
And still did I pine for the Perfect	J
And still found the False with the True	K
I sought 'mid the Human for Heaven	L
But caught a mere glimpse of its Blue	K
And I wept when the clouds of the Mortal	M
Veiled even that glimpse from my view	K
	-
And I toiled on heart tired of the Human	L
And I moaned 'mid the mazes of men	N
Till I knelt long ago at an altar	O
And I heard a voice call me Since then	N
I walk down the Valley of Silence	A
That lies far beyond mortal ken	N
	-
Do you ask what I found in the Valley	D
'Tis my Trysting Place with the Divine	P
And I fell at the feet of the Holy	D
And above me a voice said Be mine	P
And there arose from the depths of my spirit	Q
An echo My heart shall be Thine	P
	-
Do you ask how I live in the Valley	D
I weep and I dream and I pray	R
But my tears are as sweet as the dewdrops	A
That fall on the roses in May	R
And my prayer like a perfume from censers	A
Ascendeth to God night and day	R
	-
In the hush of the Valley of Silence	A
I dream all the songs that I sing	S
And the music floats down the dim Valley	D
Till each finds a word for a wing	S
That to hearts like the Dove of the Deluge	T
A message of Peace they may bring	S
	-
But far on the deep there are billows	A
That never shall break on the beach	U
And I have heard songs in the Silence	A
That never shall float into speech	U
And I have had dreams in the Valley	D
Too lofty for language to reach	U
	-
And I have seen Thoughts in the Valley	D
Ah me how my spirit was stirred	V
And they wear holy veils on their faces	A
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard	V
They pass through the Valley like virgins	A
Too pure for the touch of a word	V
	-
Do you ask me the place of the Valley	D
Ye hearts that are harrowed by Care	W
It lieth afar between mountains	A
And God and His angels are there	W
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow	X
And one the bright mountain of Prayer	W
