A poem by Alfred Noyes

Inscription

________________________________________________
Title:     Inscription
Author: Alfred Noyes [More Titles by Noyes]

(For the Grave of Coleridge-Taylor)


Sleep, crowned with fame; fearless of change or time.
Sleep, like remembered music in the soul,
Silent, immortal; while our discords climb
To that great chord which shall resolve the whole.

Silent with Mozart on that solemn shore;
Secure where neither waves nor hearts can break;
Sleep--till the Master of the World, once more,
Touch the remembered strings, and bid thee wake....

Touch the remembered strings, and bid thee wake.
