Christopher Morley

Here you will find the Poem The Secret of poet Christopher Morley

The Secret

IT was the House of Quietness 
To which I came at dusk; 
The garth was lit with roses 
And heavy with their musk.

The tremulous tall poplar trees 
Stood whispering around, 
The gentle flicker of their plumes 
More quiet than no sound.

And as I wondered at the door 
What magic might be there, 
The Lady of Sweet Silences 
Came softly down the stair.
