| CHORUS OF SPIRITS | G |

| WHEN the moist and balmy gale | H |
| - | |
| Round the verdant meadow sighs | I |
| Odors sweet in misty veil | H |
| - | |
| At the twilight hour arise | I |
| Murmurings soft of calm repose | J |

| ARIEL | B |
| - | |
| HARK the storm of hours draws near | U |
| Loudly to the spirit ear | V |
| Signs of coming day appear | U |
| Rocky gates are wildly crashing | W |
| Phoebus' wheels are onward dashing | W |
| - | |
| A wonderful noise proclaims the approach of the sun | X |
| - | |
| - | |
| Light doth mighty sounds beget | Y |
| Pealing loud as rolling thunder | P |
| Eye and ear it fills with wonder | P |
| - | |
| Though itself unconscious yet | Y |
| Downward steals it 'mongst the flowers | Z |
| Seeking deeper stiller bowers | Z |
| 'Mongst the foliage 'neath the rock | A2 |
| Thou'lt be deafened by the shock | A2 |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
