-
ARIELB
-
When in spring the gentle rainC
-
Breathes into the flower new birthD
When the green and happy plainC
-
Smiles upon the sons of earthD
Haste to give what help we mayE
-
Little elves of wondrous mightF
Whether good or evil theyE
-
Pity for them feels the spriteF
-
IIA
CHORUS OF SPIRITSG
-
WHEN the moist and balmy galeH
-
Round the verdant meadow sighsI
Odors sweet in misty veilH
-
At the twilight hour ariseI
Murmurings soft of calm reposeJ
-
Rock the heart to child like restK
And the day's bright portals closeL
-
On the eyes with toil oppress'dK
-
Night already reigns o'er allM
-
Strangely star is link'd to starN
Planets mighty sparkling smallM
-
Glitter near and gleam afarN
Gleam above in clearer nightF
-
Glitter in the glassy seaO
Pledging pure and calm delightF
-
Rules the moon in majestyO
-
Now each well known hour is overP
-
Joy and grief have pass'd awayE
Feel betimes thoult then recoverP
-
Trust the newborn eye of dayE
Vales grow verdant hillocks teemQ
-
Shady nooks the bushes yieldR
And with waving silvery gleamQ
-
Rocks the harvest in the fieldR
-
Wouldst thou wish for wish obtainC
-
Look upon yon glittering rayE
Lightly on thee lies the chainC
-
Cast the shell of sleep awayE
Tarry not but be thou boldS
-
When the many loiter stillT
All with ease may be controll'dS
-
By the man of daring willT
-
IIIA
ARIELB
-
HARK the storm of hours draws nearU
Loudly to the spirit earV
Signs of coming day appearU
Rocky gates are wildly crashingW
Phoebus' wheels are onward dashingW
-
A wonderful noise proclaims the approach of the sunX
-
-
Light doth mighty sounds begetY
Pealing loud as rolling thunderP
Eye and ear it fills with wonderP
-
Though itself unconscious yetY
Downward steals it 'mongst the flowersZ
Seeking deeper stiller bowersZ
'Mongst the foliage 'neath the rockA2
Thou'lt be deafened by the shockA2

FROM FAUST SECOND PARTB2
-
SCENE THE LASTC2
-
ANGELSD2
Hovering in the higher regions of air and hearing the immortalB
part of FaustE2
-
THE spirit region's noble limbF2
-
Hath 'scaled the Archfiend's powerP
For we have strength to rescue himF2
-
Who labours ev'ry hourP
And if he feels within his breastK
-
A ray of love from heavenX
He's met by all the squadron blestK
-
With welcome gladly givenX
-
THE YOUNGER ANGELSD2
-
Yonder roses from the holyO
Hands of penitents so lowlyO
Help'd to render us victoriousG2
And to do the deed all gloriousG2
For they gain'd us this soul treasureP
-
Evil ones those roses banish'dH2
-
Devils when we met them vanish'dH2
Spirits felt love's pangs with pleasureP
Where hell's torments used to dwellI2
E'en the hoary king of hellI2
Felt sharp torments through him runX
Shout for joy the prize is wonX
-
THE MORE PERFECT ANGELSD2
-
Strains of mortalityO
-
Long have oppress'd usG2
Pure could they ever beO
-
If of asbestosG2
If mighty spirit strengthJ2
-
Elements everP
Knew how to seize at lengthJ2
-
Angels could neverP
Link'd twofold natures moveK2
-
Where single heartedL2
By nought but deathless loveM2
-
Can they be partedL2
-
THE YOUNGER ANGELSD2
-
See where a spirit raceN2
-
Bursts on the sightF
Dimly their forms I traceN2
-
Round the far heightF
Each cloud becometh clearU
While the bright troops appearU
-
Of the blest boysO2
-
From the Earth's burden freeO
In a glad companyO
-
Drinking in joysO2
Born of the world aboveM2
-
Springtime and blissP2
May they forerunners proveK2
Of a more perfect loveM2
-
Link'd on to thisP2
-
THE BEATIFIED CHILDRENX
-
Thus as a chrysalisP2
-
Gladly we gain himF2
And as a pledge of blissP2
-
Safely retain himF2
When from the shell he's freeO
-
Whereby he's taintedQ2
Perfect and fair he'll beO
-
Holy and saintedQ2
-

Hard it is to save themB3

That alas enslave themB3

When the smooth ground pressingW

Whence the drops so fragrant fellI2
By the locks whose gentle careD3

Dried His holy members wellI2

muller SAMARITANA St John ivA

By the well where Abram erstZ2

Drove his flocks to drink their fillT

By the fountain balm exhalingW

That from yon bright region flowsY2
Ever clear and never failingW
-
As round ev'ry world it goesY2
-
MARIA AEGYPTIACA Acta SanctorumB3

By the sacred spot immortalB

Where the Lord's remains they plac'dZ2
By the arm that from the portalB

Drove me back with warning hasteZ2
By my forty years of lowlyO

Penance in a desert landZ2
By the farewell greetings holyO

That I wrote upon the sandZ2

THE THREEO

Thou who ne'er thy radiant faceY2

Self forgetful though when livingW
That perceived not that it err'dZ2

Feel thy mercy sin forgivingW

Train us in gloryO

THE PENITENT once named MargaretZ2

Link'd with the noble band of spiritsY2

Scarce can the new one feel or seeO
The radiant life he now inheritsY2

So like that holy band is heO
See how he bursts each bond materialB

In vesture clad of grace etherealB

Comes in the glow of youthful strengthJ2
Oh let me guide his steps victoriousY2

While dazzled by the new born lightZ2

Goddess queen of heavenX

Here becomes ripeE3

Here meets the eyeA
The ever womanlyB
-
Draws us on highA
