Ad harmoniam canere mundum	A
CICERO de Nat Deor lib iii	B
	-
	-
There lies a shell beneath the waves	C
In many a hollow winding wreathed	D
Such as of old	D
Echoed the breath that warbling sea maids breathed	D
This magic shell	E
From the white bosom of a syren fell	E
As once she wandered by the tide that laves	C
Sicilia's sands of gold	D
It bears	C
Upon its shining side the mystic notes	C
Of those entrancing airs	C
The genii of the deep were wont to swell	E
When heaven's eternal orbs their midnight music rolled	D
Oh seek it wheresoe'er it floats	C
And if the power	F
Of thrilling numbers to thy soul be dear	G
	-
Go bring the bright shell to my bower	F
And I will fold thee in such downy dreams	C
As lap the Spirit of the Seventh Sphere	G
When Luna's distant tone falls faintly on his ear	H
And thou shalt own	I
That through the circle of creation's zone	I
Where matter slumbers or where spirit beams	C
From the pellucid tides that whirl	J
The planets through their maze of song	K
To the small rill that weeps along	K
Murmuring o'er beds of pearl	J
From the rich sigh	L
Of the sun's arrow through an evening sky	L
To the faint breath the tuneful osier yields	C
On Afric's burning fields	C
Thou'lt wondering own this universe divine	M
Is mine	M
That I respire in all and all in me	A
One mighty mingled soul of boundless harmony	A
	-
Welcome welcome mystic shell	E
Many a star has ceased to burn	N
Many a tear has Saturn's urn	N
O'er the cold bosom of the ocean wept	D
Since thy aerial spell	E
Hath in the waters slept	D
Now blest I'll fly	L
With the bright treasure to my choral sky	L
Where she who waked its early swell	E
The Syren of the heavenly choir	F
Walks o'er the great string of my Orphic Lyre	O
Or guides around the burning pole	P
The winged chariot of some blissful soul	P
While thou	Q
Oh son of earth what dreams shall rise for thee	A
Beneath Hispania's sun	R
Thou'll see a streamlet run	R
Which I've imbued with breathing melody	A
And there when night winds down the current die	L
Thou'lt hear how like a harp its waters sigh	L
A liquid chord is every wave that flows	C
An airy plectrum every breeze that blows	C
	-
There by that wondrous stream	A
Go lay thy languid brow	Q
And I will send thee such a godlike dream	A
As never blest the slumbers even of him	A
Who many a night with his primordial lyre	O
Sate on the chill Pangaean mount	D
And looking to the orient dim	A
Watched the first flowing of that sacred fount	D
From which his soul had drunk its fire	F
Oh think what visions in that lonely hour	F
Stole o'er his musing breast	D
What pious ecstasy	A
Wafted his prayer to that eternal Power	F
Whose seal upon this new born world imprest	D
The various forms of bright divinity	D
Or dost thou know what dreams I wove	S
Mid the deep horror of that silent bower	F
Where the rapt Samian slept his holy slumber	F
When free	D
From every earthly chain	T
From wreaths of pleasure and from bonds of pain	T
His spirit flew through fields above	U
Drank at the source of nature's fontal number	F
And saw in mystic choir around him move	V
The stars of song Heaven's burning minstrelsy	A
Such dreams so heavenly bright	D
I swear	W
By the great diadem that twines my hair	W
And by the seven gems that sparkle there	W
Mingling their beams	A
In a soft iris of harmonious light	D
Oh mortal such shall be thy radiant dreams	A
	-
	-
	-
I found her not the chamber seemed	D
Like some divinely haunted place	A
Where fairy forms had lately beamed	D
And left behind their odorous trace	A
	-
It felt as if her lips had shed	D
A sigh around her ere she fled	D
Which hung as on a melting lute	D
When all the silver chords are mute	D
There lingers still a trembling breath	X
After the note's luxurious death	X
A shade of song a spirit air	W
Of melodies which had been there	W
	-
I saw the veil which all the day	D
Had floated o'er her cheek of rose	A
I saw the couch where late she lay	D
In languor of divine repose	A
And I could trace the hallowed print	D
Her limbs had left as pure and warm	A
As if 'twere done in rapture's mint	D
And Love himself had stamped the form	A
	-
Oh my sweet mistress where wert thou	Q
In pity fly not thus from me	D
Thou art my life my essence now	Q
And my soul dies of wanting thee	D

Thomas Moore
