A SHORT STRAIN OF MUSIC FROM THE ORCHESTRAA
-
-
There breathes a language known and feltB
Far as the pure air spreads its living zoneC
Wherever rage can rouse or pity meltB
That language of the soul is felt and knownC
From those meridian plainsD
Where oft of old on some high towerE
The soft Peruvian poured his midnight strainsD
And called his distant love with such sweet powerE
That when she heard the lonely layF
Not worlds could keep her from his arms awayF
To the bleak climes of polar nightG
Where blithe beneath a sunless skyH
The Lapland lover bids his reindeer flyH
And sings along the lengthening waste of snowI
Gayly as if the blessed lightG
Of vernal Phoebus burned upon his browJ
Oh Music thy celestial claimK
Is still resistless still the sameK
And faithful as the mighty seaL
To the pale star that o'er its realm presidesM
The spell bound tidesM
Of human passion rise and fall for theeL

Thomas Moore
