RICHARD REALF
American (English-born) abolitionist, patriot and poet
(1834 - 1878)

Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giving;
  Back of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving.
      - Indirection [Gifts]

Fair are the flowers and the children, but their subtle suggestion is fairer;
  Rarer is the roseburst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it rarer;
    Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it is sweeter
      And never was poem yet writ, but the meaning outmastered the meter.
      - Indirection [Beauty]
