O earth, so full of dreary noises O men, with wailing in your voices O delvd gold, the wailers heap O strife, O curse, that o'er it fall God strikes a silence through you all, And giveth his beloved, sleep. (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

O earth, so full of dreary noises O men, with wailing in your voices O delvd gold, the wailers heap O strife, O curse, that o'er it fall God strikes a silence through you all, And giveth his beloved, sleep.
