Better than Music For I who heard it | B |
I was used to the Birds before | C |
This was different 'Twas Translation | D |
Of all tunes I knew and more | C |
- | |
'Twasn't contained like other stanza | E |
No one could play it the second time | F |
But the Composer perfect Mozart | G |
Perish with him that Keyless Rhyme | F |

So Children told how Brooks in Eden | D |
Bubbled a better Melody | H |
Quaintly infer Eve's great surrender | I |
Urging the feet that would not fly | J |
- | |
Children matured are wiser mostly | H |
Eden a legend dimly told | K |
Eve and the Anguish Grandame's story | H |
But I was telling a tune I heard | L |
- | |
Not such a strain the Church baptizes | E |
When the last Saint goes up the Aisles | E |
Not such a stanza splits the silence | E |
When the Redemption strikes her Bells | E |
- | |
Let me not spill its smallest cadence | E |
Humming for promise when alone | M |
Humming until my faint Rehearsal | N |
Drop into tune around the Throne | M |
