the cliff and the fall.

mula kay teasdale:

I asked the heaven of stars
What I should give my love -
It answered me with silence,
Silence above.

I asked the darkened sea
Down where the fishes go -
It answered me with silence,
Silence below.

Oh, I could give him weeping,
Or I could give him a song -
But how can I give silence
My whole life long?
