Tranquillity

Title:     Tranquillity
Author: Helen Hay Whitney [More Titles by Whitney]

Do you respect the heavy-lidded flowers
That nod so drowsily upon their bed?
Can you endure the slow-stepped, dreamy hours
That fall, indifferent, to gold and red?

Have you the key that opens to green arches
Where trees repeat their prayers in monotone?
Then take my hand down life's mysterious marches,
And let us walk in silence and alone.

[The end]
Helen Hay Whitney's poem: Tranquillity
