The Silent Lover



Listen to: 

The Silent Lover (:24)

by Sir Walter Ralegh

performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode

Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams:
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb;
So, when affection yields discourse, it seems
     The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
They that are rich in words, in words discover
That they are poor in that which makes a lover.
