Hear love's voice, in gentle consideration Most soft, in a sigh of whispered breeze For the sound of love is no unrefined shout Of some gross demand in invitation That has no means, of intend to please Or will sing, sweet, a hymn of love's devout Love is the song of a silent prayer That fills a joyous air with a darling's praise The butterfly has more noise in its breathing As will the buttercup cry, in opening care And silent is the joy of sweet love in raise Softer than falling dew, tears of night's grieving
Passion has the noise of cruel triumphant cheer But love, dear love, is a breath all a world can hear
