Written between the ages of fourteen and fifteenA
with a few subsequent verbal alterationsB
-
-
Music all powerful o'er the human mindC
Can still each mental storm each tumult calmD
Soothe anxious care on sleepless couch reclinedC
And e'en fierce Anger's furious rage disarmE
-
At her command the various passions lieF
She stirs to battle or she lulls to peaceG
Melts the charm'd soul to thrilling ecstasyH
And bids the jarring world's harsh clangour ceaseG
-
Her martial sounds can fainting troops inspireI
With strength unwonted and enthusiasm raiseJ
Infuse new ardour and with youthful fireK
Urge on the warrior gray with length of daysJ
-
Far better she when with her soothing lyreI
She charms the falchion from the savage graspL
And melting into pity vengeful ireI
Looses the bloody breastplate's iron claspL
-
With her in pensive mood I long to roamM
At midnight's hour or evening's calm declineN
And thoughtful o'er the falling streamlet's foamM
In calm seclusion's hermit walks reclineN
-
Whilst mellow sounds from distant copse ariseO
Of softest flute or reeds harmonic join'dP
With rapture thrill'd each worldly passion diesO
And pleased attention claims the passive mindC
-
Soft through the dell the dying strains retireI
Then burst majestic in the varied swellQ
Now breathe melodious as the Grecian lyreI
Or on the ear in sinking cadence dwellQ
-
Romantic sounds such is the bliss ye giveR
That heaven's bright scenes seem bursting on the soulS
With joy I'd yield each sensual wish to liveT
For ever 'neath your undefiled controlS
-
Oh surely melody from heaven was sentU
To cheer the soul when tired with human strifeV
To soothe the wayward heart by sorrow rentU
And soften down the rugged road of lifeV
