Hush,—for the halo of calmness is spreading
Over my spirit as mild as a dove;
Hush,—for the angel of comfort is shedding
Over my body his vial of love;
Hush,—for new slumbers are over me stealing,
Thus would I court them again and again,
Hush,—for my heart is intoxicate,—reeling
In the swift waltz of my beautiful brain!
--
Sloth, l. 25-32.

There is no sign of leaf or bud,
      A hush is over everything —
Silent as women wait for love,
      The world is waiting for the spring.

 

Sara Teasdale

 

Winds and waters keep
A hush more dead than any sleep.

 

William Allingham

 

Hush, not a whisper! Let your heart alone go dreaming.
Dream unto dream may pass: deep in the heart alone
Murmurs the Mighty One his solemn undertone.

 

George William Russell

 

Chance cannot touch me! Time cannot hush me!
Fear, Hope, and Longing, at strife,
Sink as I rise, on, on, upward forever,
Gathering strength, gaining breath, — naught can sever
Me from the Spirit of Life!

 

Margaret Fuller
