Nature

Quiet

by Ernest Radford 1857–1919

From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)

Nature

Tired brain, there is a place of rest
On the broad bosom of the land
Where quiet will reward the quest.
The dinning of the iron hand
Will be unheard; ah! there shall we

Have with the noise of tumbling rills,
And with the music of the sea,
The quiet that my dream fulfils
Of Quiet, aching tho' it be.
