Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, - The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms 'Neath billowing [clouds]1 that scatter and amass. All round our nest, far as the eye can pass, Are golden kingcup fields with silver edge Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn hedge. 'Tis visible silence, still as the hour glass. Deep in the sunsearched growths the dragon-fly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky: - So this winged hour is dropt to us from above. Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower, This close-companioned inarticulate hour When twofold silence was the song of love.About the headline (FAQ)

I was asked to write a piece on analyzing a text for symbolism, and I immediately knew what piece I would write my essay on. Recently, I have begun participation in the WSMA Solo and Ensemble program. In this, we ares asked to choose a vocal solo to perform in front of a judge, and you can choose your solo out of one of three categories. I chose a class "A" solo, and "A" is the most difficult class type solo, and is considered "College" leveled. I fell in love with the song, and the meaningful lyrics, and did a little digging, and found that the lyrics were based off of a 19th century poem. I chose this poem for it's flowing, descriptive language, and for the fact of the timeless love two people share within it.
Silent Noon
Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, --
The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:
Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,
Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge
Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.
'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.
