Dull words that swim upon the page
Dull words that swim upon the page
Thro' filmy tears of joy and pain!
Poor silly words, my only gage!
Mere words, recurrent as refrain!
Ye prove me language less than nought
And all the loss of utterance.
Ye give me scraps of withered thought
And sounds that meet as by a chance.
If I should find ye once again,
If you should come again to me,
Dull words about my joy and pain,
Mere words, what would ye signify?
Thro' filmy tears of joy and pain!
Poor silly words, my only gage!
Mere words, recurrent as refrain!
Ye prove me language less than nought
And all the loss of utterance.
Ye give me scraps of withered thought
And sounds that meet as by a chance.
If I should find ye once again,
If you should come again to me,
Dull words about my joy and pain,
Mere words, what would ye signify?
