I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea	A
And the silence of the city when it pauses	B
And the silence of a man and a maid	C
And the silence of the sick	D
When their eyes roam about the room	E
And I ask For the depths	F
Of what use is language	G
A beast of the field moans a few times	H
When death takes its young	I
And we are voiceless in the presence of realities	J
We cannot speak	K
	-
A curious boy asks an old soldier	L
Sitting in front of the grocery store	M
How did you lose your leg	N
And the old soldier is struck with silence	O
Or his mind flies away	P
Because he cannot concentrate it on Gettysburg	Q
It comes back jocosely	R
And he says A bear bit it off	S
And the boy wonders while the old soldier	L
Dumbly feebly lives over	L
The flashes of guns the thunder of cannon	T
The shrieks of the slain	U
And himself lying on the ground	V
And the hospital surgeons the knives	W
And the long days in bed	X
But if he could describe it all	R
He would be an artist	Y
But if he were an artist there would be deeper wounds	Z
Which he could not describe	A2
	-
There is the silence of a great hatred	B2
And the silence of a great love	C2
And the silence of an embittered friendship	D2
There is the silence of a spiritual crisis	E2
Through which your soul exquisitely tortured	F2
Comes with visions not to be uttered	F2
Into a realm of higher life	G2
There is the silence of defeat	H2
There is the silence of those unjustly punished	I2
And the silence of the dying whose hand	J2
Suddenly grips yours	K2
There is the silence between father and son	T
When the father cannot explain his life	G2
Even though he be misunderstood for it	L2
	-
There is the silence that comes between husband and wife	G2
There is the silence of those who have failed	M2
And the vast silence that covers	N2
Broken nations and vanquished leaders	N2
There is the silence of Lincoln	T
Thinking of the poverty of his youth	O2
And the silence of Napoleon	T
After Waterloo	R
And the silence of Jeanne d'Arc	P2
Saying amid the flames Blessed Jesus	E2
Revealing in two words all sorrows all hope	Q2
And there is the silence of age	R2
Too full of wisdom for the tongue to utter it	L2
In words intelligible to those who have not lived	S2
The great range of life	G2
	-
And there is the silence of the dead	X
If we who are in life cannot speak	K
Of profound experiences	T2
Why do you marvel that the dead	X
Do not tell you of death	U2
Their silence shall be interpreted	B2
As we approach them	V2
