Blast that careers so free whistling across the prairies | B |
Strong hum of forest tree tops Wind of the mountains | C |
Personified dim shapes you hidden orchestras | D |
You serenades of phantoms with instruments alert | E |
Blending with Nature's rhythmus all the tongues of nations | C |
You chords left us by vast composers you choruses | F |
You formless free religious dances you from the Orient | G |
You undertone of rivers roar of pouring cataracts | H |
You sounds from distant guns with galloping cavalry | I |
Echoes of camps with all the different bugle calls | J |
Trooping tumultuous filling the midnight late bending me powerless | K |
Entering my lonesome slumber chamber Why have you seiz'd me | I |
- | |
- | |
Come forward O my Soul and let the rest retire | L |
Listen lose not it is toward thee they tend | M |
Parting the midnight entering my slumber chamber | N |
For thee they sing and dance O Soul | O |
- | |
A festival song | P |
The duet of the bridegroom and the bride a marriage march | Q |
With lips of love and hearts of lovers fill'd to the brim with | R |
love | S |
The red flush'd cheeks and perfumes the cortege swarming full of | S |
friendly faces young and old | T |
To flutes' clear notes and sounding harps' cantabile | O |
- | |
- | |
Now loud approaching drums | U |
Victoria see'st thou in powder smoke the banners torn but flying | V |
the rout of the baffled | W |
Hearest those shouts of a conquering army | I |
- | |
Ah Soul the sobs of women the wounded groaning in agony | I |
The hiss and crackle of flames the blacken'd ruins the embers of | S |
cities | B |
The dirge and desolation of mankind | X |
- | |
- | |
Now airs antique and medieval fill me | I |
I see and hear old harpers with their harps at Welsh festivals | Y |
I hear the minnesingers singing their lays of love | S |
I hear the minstrels gleemen troubadours of the feudal ages | D |
- | |
- | |
Now the great organ sounds | Z |
Tremulous while underneath as the hid footholds of the earth | A2 |
On which arising rest and leaping forth depend | M |
All shapes of beauty grace and strength all hues we know | B2 |
Green blades of grass and warbling birds children that gambol and | C2 |
play the clouds of heaven above | S |
The strong base stands and its pulsations intermits not | D2 |
Bathing supporting merging all the rest maternity of all the rest | E2 |
And with it every instrument in multitudes | F2 |
The players playing all the world's musicians | C |
The solemn hymns and masses rousing adoration | G2 |
All passionate heart chants sorrowful appeals | H2 |
The measureless sweet vocalists of ages | D |
And for their solvent setting Earth's own diapason | G2 |
Of winds and woods and mighty ocean waves | I2 |
A new composite orchestra binder of years and climes ten fold | T |
renewer | N |
As of the far back days the poets tell the Paradiso | B2 |
The straying thence the separation long but now the wandering done | G2 |
The journey done the Journeyman come home | J2 |
And Man and Art with Nature fused again | G2 |

The tongues of violins | M2 |

Ah from a little child | O2 |
Thou knowest Soul how to me all sounds became music | P2 |
My mother's voice in lullaby or hymn | G2 |
The voice O tender voices memory's loving voices | D |
Last miracle of all O dearest mother's sister's voices | D |
The rain the growing corn the breeze among the long leav'd corn | G2 |
The measur'd sea surf beating on the sand | Q2 |
The twittering bird the hawk's sharp scream | R2 |
The wild fowl's notes at night as flying low migrating north or | N |
south | S2 |
The psalm in the country church or mid the clustering trees the | T2 |
open air camp meeting | V |
The fiddler in the tavern the glee the long strung sailor song | P |
The lowing cattle bleating sheep the crowing cock at dawn | G2 |

All songs of current lands come sounding 'round me | I |
The German airs of friendship wine and love | S |
Irish ballads merry jigs and dances English warbles | Y |

Italia's peerless compositions | C |

Amid the scent of night roses radiant holding his bride by the | T2 |
hand | Q2 |
Hears the infernal call the death pledge of the horn | G2 |

To crossing swords and grey hairs bared to heaven | G2 |
The clear electric base and baritone of the world | Q2 |
The trombone duo Libertad forever | N |

From Spanish chestnut trees' dense shade | Q2 |
By old and heavy convent walls a wailing song | P |
Song of lost love the torch of youth and life quench'd in despair | N |
Song of the dying swan Fernando's heart is breaking | V |

Awaking from her woes at last retriev'd Amina sings | U2 |
Copious as stars and glad as morning light the torrents of her joy | V2 |

The waltz some delicious measure lapsing bathing me in | G2 |
bliss | W2 |
The bolero to tinkling guitars and clattering castanets | W2 |

I see religious dances old and new | G2 |
I hear the sound of the Hebrew lyre | N |

shouts as they spin around turning always towards Mecca | T2 |

I hear the Egyptian harp of many strings | W2 |
The primitive chants of the Nile boatmen | G2 |
The sacred imperial hymns of China | G2 |
To the delicate sounds of the king the stricken wood and stone | G2 |
Or to Hindu flutes and the fretting twang of the vina | G2 |
A band of bayaderes | W2 |

Now Asia Africa leave me Europe seizing inflates me | I |
To organs huge and bands I hear as from vast concourses of voices | W2 |

Rossini's Stabat Mater dolorosa | W2 |
Or floating in some high cathedral dim with gorgeous color'd | Q2 |
windows | W2 |
The passionate Agnus Dei or Gloria in Excelsis | W2 |
