Silence is a word from the heart,
it is uttered but concealed
for none can listen to its cry.

There at her bed
she slept and wept
upon dreams and wets,

upon a string, she placed her cries,
upon a boat they went unseen;
all care within her heart.

In the air of spring, there are many lies
of love and warmth to be loved,

upon her bed lays a tree
cut and burned from its wheel,

to whom shall she go to mend the bow?
or shall she buy a gun of thorns?

Painting “La Madeleine à la veilleuse” by  Georges de La Tour
