David Herbert Lawrence Silence Poems

• 1. Silence
  Since I lost you I am silence-haunted,
  Sounds wave their little wings
  A moment, then in weariness settle
  On the flood that soundless swings.
  ...
• 2. Discord In Childhood
  Outside the house an ash-tree hung its terrible whips,
  And at night when the wind arose, the lash of the tree
  Shrieked and slashed the wind, as a shipâ??s
  Weird rigging in a storm shrieks hideously.
  ...
• 3. A Passing Bell
  Mournfully to and fro, to and fro the trees are waving;

  And take them in thrall.

  All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
  Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
  The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . .
  ...
• 8. Blue
  The earth again like a ship steams out of the dark sea over
  The edge of the blue, and the sun stands up to see us glide
  Slowly into another day; slowly the rover
  Vessel of darkness takes the rising tide.
  ...
