Reticence

Emily Dickinson

1830 to 1886

We are working on musical arrangements of Reticence by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

The reticent volcano keeps
  His never slumbering plan;
Confided are his projects pink
  To no precarious man.

If nature will not tell the tale
  Jehovah told to her,
Can human nature not survive
  Without a listener?

Admonished by her buckled lips
  Let every babbler be.
The only secret people keep
  Is Immortality.
