I asked the heaven of stars <br /> What I should give my love -- <br />It answered me with silence, <br /> Silence above. <br /> <br />I asked the darkened sea <br /> Down where the fishers go -- <br />It answered me with silence, <br /> Silence below. <br /> <br />Oh, I could give him weeping, <br /> Or I could give him song -- <br />But how can I give silence, <br /> My whole life long?<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-song-at-amalfi/
