But hush hark a deep sound strikes like a rising knell Did ye not hear it No 't was but the wind, Or the car rattling o'er the stony street. On with the dance let joy be unconfined No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.

Parting What brought it back to me I thought that it had fled Again I sit with thee And watch the twilight red. Far out upon the deep The full moon's light is thrown. This night thou must not sleep Stay near me, O, my own How hard for me to know That this must be the last That duty's wave must flow O'er all the sacred past. Dear heart, what walls that rise Can bar out memory's view, Or hush the poor heart's sighs You'll know are breathed for you So fair the moon will rise To other eyes than ours, That weep while bitter sighs Stay not the winged hours.

At last the daylight makes, With rising shafts of gold, Each heart in parting breaks, And duty's wage is told.

I would ask them to murmur, 'Hush' and 'Shh, shhh, it's all right.' I would ask them to hold you all night.

I wish I could take language And heal the words that were the wounds You have no names for.

A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring.

Our love was new, and then but in the spring
When I was wont to greet it with my lays,
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing,
And stops her pipe in growth of riper days-
Not that the summer is less pleasant now
Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night,
But that wild music burthens every bough,
And sweets grown common lose their dear delight.

Hush, call no echo up in further proof
Of desolation!

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripen grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain, When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft star that shines at night, Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there I did not die.
