Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal <br />the way you dream, the things you feel. <br />Deep in your spirit let them rise <br />akin to stars in crystal skies <br />that set before the night is blurred: <br />delight in them and speak no word. <br />How can a heart expression find? <br />How should another know your mind? <br />Will he discern what quickens you? <br />A thought once uttered is untrue. <br />Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred: <br />drink at the source and speak no word. <br />Live in your inner self alone <br />within your soul a world has grown, <br />the magic of veiled thoughts that might <br />be blinded by the outer light, <br />drowned in the noise of day, unheard... <br />take in their song and speak no word.<br /><br />Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silentium-2/
