"Silence more musical than any song;"
— Christina Rossetti
"Rest," Goblin Market and Other Poems, 1862. We check every line against a primary source.

It's a sonnet, fourteen lines, and this is the tenth.

Musicians call a written pause a rest, and they count it like any note. Rossetti gave the poem that name.

Organic cotton.

Put it on, and then sit still.
