| - | |
| - | |
| There breathes a language known and felt | B |
| Far as the pure air spreads its living zone | C |
| Wherever rage can rouse or pity melt | B |
| That language of the soul is felt and known | C |
| From those meridian plains | D |
| Where oft of old on some high tower | E |
| The soft Peruvian poured his midnight strains | D |
| And called his distant love with such sweet power | E |
| That when she heard the lonely lay | F |
| Not worlds could keep her from his arms away | F |
| To the bleak climes of polar night | G |
| Where blithe beneath a sunless sky | H |
| The Lapland lover bids his reindeer fly | H |
| And sings along the lengthening waste of snow | I |
| Gayly as if the blessed light | G |
| Of vernal Phoebus burned upon his brow | J |
| Oh Music thy celestial claim | K |
| Is still resistless still the same | K |
| And faithful as the mighty sea | L |
| To the pale star that o'er its realm presides | M |
| The spell bound tides | M |
| Of human passion rise and fall for thee | L |
