The Songs Of Silence

The Song of Silence is a collection of 108 songs. The theme of the collection can be best gauged from the opening song:

My Lord! Let me sing the song of silence on the harp of Thy love.
And pull the wires of peace,
And let it vibrate through the hearts of the world
And fill them with the message of Truth eternal.
My Lord! Let me sing the song of silence without word and rhyme.
And let it break asunder the trammels of my mind.
And pour forth in torrents the melody of love,
To enliven the spirits of the world
And prepare them to long for the life of Wisdom eternal.
My Lord! Let me sing the songs of silence
And let it silently reverberate
And inspire the conscience of the world to yearn for life beyond,
A Life of Divine Bliss eternal.
