IA
-
Who comes to day with sunlight on his faceB
And eyes of fire that have a sorrow's traceB
But are not sad with sadness of the yearsC
Or hints of tearsD
-
-
IIA
-
He is a king or I mistake the signE
A king of song a comrade of the NineE
The Muses' brother and their youngest oneF
This side the sunF
-
-
IIIA
-
See how he bends to greet his soul's desireG
His violin which trembles like a lyreH
And seems to trust him and to know his touchI
Belov'd so muchI
-
-
IVJ
-
He stands full height he draws it to his breastK
Like one in joy who takes a wonder guestK
A weird wild thing bewitched from end to endL
To be his friendL
-
-
VJ
-
And who can doubt the right it has to lieA
So near his heart and there to sob and sighA
And there to shake its octaves into notesM
With bird like throatsM
-
-
VIA
-
Ah see how deftly with his lifted bowN
He strikes the chords of ecstasy and woeO
And wakes the wailing of the sprite withinP
That knows not sinP
-
-
VIIA
-
A thousand heads are turn'd to where he standsQ
A thousand hopes are moulded to his handsQ
And like a storm wind hurrying from the northR
A shout breaks forthR
-
-
VIIIA
-
It is the welcome that of old was givenF
To Paganini ere he join'd in HeavenF
The angel choirs of those who serve arightL
The God of LightL
-
-
IXQ
-
It is the large loud utterance of a throngS
That loves a faith employ'd impassion'd songS
A song that soothes the heart and makes it sadL
Yet keeps us gladL
-
-
XQ
-
For look how bearded men and women fairT
Shed tears and smile and half repeat a prayerT
And half are shamed in their so mean estateL
And he so greatL
-
-
XIQ
-
This is the young Endymion out of SpainU
Who laurel crown'd has come to us againV
To re intone the songs of other timesQ
In far off climesQ
-
-
XIIQ
-
To prove again that Music by the pleaQ
Of all men's love has link'd from sea to seaQ
All shores of earth in one serene and grandL
Symphonic landL
-
-
XIIIQ
-
Oh hush the while Oh hush A bird has sungW
A Mayday bird has trill'd without a tongueW
And now 'twould seem has wandered out of sightL
For sheer delightL
-
-
XIVA
-
A phantom bird 'Tis gone where all things goO
The wind the rain the sunshine and the snowO
The hopes we nurs'd the dead things lately pass'dL
All dreams at lastL
-
-
XVA
-
The towers of light the castles in the airT
The queenly things with diamonds in their hairT
The toys of sound the flowers of magic artL
All these departL
-
-
XVIA
-
They seem'd to live and lo beyond recallX
They take the sweet sad Silence for a pallY
And wrapt therein consent to be dismiss'dL
Though glory kiss'dL
-
-
XVIIA
-
O pride of Spain O wizard with a wandL
More fraught with fervours of the life beyondL
Than books have taught us in these tawdry daysQ
Take thou my praiseQ
-
-
XVIIIA
-
Aye take it Pablo Though so poor a thingZ
'Twill serve to mind thee of an English springZ
When wealth and worth and fashion each and allX
Obey'd thy thrallX
-
-
XIXQ
-
The lark that sings its love song in the cloudL
Is God inspired and glad but is not proudL
And soon forgets the salvos of the breezeQ
As thou dost theseQ
-
-
XXQ
-
The shouts the praises and the swift acclaimA2
That men have brought to magnify thy nameA2
Affect thee barely as an idle cheerB2
Affects a seerC2
-
-
XXIQ
-
But thou art ours O Pablo ours to dayL
Ours and not ours in thy triumphant swayL
And we must urge it by the right that bringsQ
Honour to kingsQ
-
-
XXIIQ
-
Honour to thee thou stately thou divineE
And far famed minstrel of a mighty lineE
Honour to thee and peace and musings highA
Good night Good byeA
