Quiet

Ernest Radford (1857–1919)

TIRED brain, there is a place of rest

On the broad bosom of the land

Where quiet will reward the quest.

The dinning of the iron hand

Will be unheard; ah! there shall we

Have with the noise of tumbling rills,

And with the music of the sea,

The quiet that my dream fulfils

Of Quiet, aching tho’ it be.
