The Master Chord

EVA B. ROWE

The "still small voice" is to the listening heartAs "voice of many waters," or the soundOf muted thunders after storm! My ears,So dull and ill-attuned, heard not life's deepAnd major chords, but long had known full wellIts fluted minors—surface tones that please,Yet do not satisfy.
