Silence
Silence is the sound of footsteps Hushed upon a stair,
The fluttering of ruffled garments, A song's forgotten air —
All the old, forbidden echoes That quenched their fevers there.

Silence is the sound of footsteps Hushed upon a stair,
The fluttering of ruffled garments, A song's forgotten air —
All the old, forbidden echoes That quenched their fevers there.
Hazel Hall defines silence not as emptiness but as a kind of haunted quiet. The speaker hears in it the faint traces of life: footsteps softened on a stair, the rustle of clothing, a half-remembered tune. These are not peaceful domestic noises.
