What would words be without the pen
Or ears to caress their sound;
A simple message when read again

So meaningful, if in love were it bound.

Would one but deny such beautiful thought

Of the writers impassioned plea,

If in simple verse it is brought

By his own hand, the silent voice is set free;

Words can be angry, or tender and true

Or may be echoed in gentle refrains,

Be they words of welcome, or a whispered adieu

Without words only silence remains
