Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down from heaven and bring me in your eyes Remembrance of all beauty that has been, And stillness from the pools of Paradise.

Siegfried Sassoon
Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down...
Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down...
Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down...
Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down...
About This Quote

The poet William Blake was written: “Mute in that golden silence hung with green, Come down from heaven and bring me in your eyes Remembrance of all beauty that has been, And stillness from the pools of Paradise.” The Silent Pool (also known as the Lake of Tears or Lake of Lamentations) is a calm calm pool next to the River Jordan. When Jesus Christ made his final journey to Heaven, he went by way of the River Jordan and after bathing in the water of the river, he ascended to Heaven. This poem focuses on Jesus Christ walking into Heaven and walking out again. It speaks about how Jesus Christ can come back down to Earth and whenever we need him, he will always rise again.
