PROUD music of the stormA
Blast that careers so free whistling across the prairiesB
Strong hum of forest tree tops Wind of the mountainsC
Personified dim shapes you hidden orchestrasD
You serenades of phantoms with instruments alertE
Blending with Nature's rhythmus all the tongues of nationsC
You chords left us by vast composers you chorusesF
You formless free religious dances you from the OrientG
You undertone of rivers roar of pouring cataractsH
You sounds from distant guns with galloping cavalryI
Echoes of camps with all the different bugle callsJ
Trooping tumultuous filling the midnight late bending me powerlessK
Entering my lonesome slumber chamber Why have you seiz'd meI
-
-
Come forward O my Soul and let the rest retireL
Listen lose not it is toward thee they tendM
Parting the midnight entering my slumber chamberN
For thee they sing and dance O SoulO
-
A festival songP
The duet of the bridegroom and the bride a marriage marchQ
With lips of love and hearts of lovers fill'd to the brim withR
loveS
The red flush'd cheeks and perfumes the cortege swarming full ofS
friendly faces young and oldT
To flutes' clear notes and sounding harps' cantabileO
-
-
Now loud approaching drumsU
Victoria see'st thou in powder smoke the banners torn but flyingV
the rout of the baffledW
Hearest those shouts of a conquering armyI
-
Ah Soul the sobs of women the wounded groaning in agonyI
The hiss and crackle of flames the blacken'd ruins the embers ofS
citiesB
The dirge and desolation of mankindX
-
-
Now airs antique and medieval fill meI
I see and hear old harpers with their harps at Welsh festivalsY
I hear the minnesingers singing their lays of loveS
I hear the minstrels gleemen troubadours of the feudal agesD
-
-
Now the great organ soundsZ
Tremulous while underneath as the hid footholds of the earthA2
On which arising rest and leaping forth dependM
All shapes of beauty grace and strength all hues we knowB2
Green blades of grass and warbling birds children that gambol andC2
play the clouds of heaven aboveS
The strong base stands and its pulsations intermits notD2
Bathing supporting merging all the rest maternity of all the restE2
And with it every instrument in multitudesF2
The players playing all the world's musiciansC
The solemn hymns and masses rousing adorationG2
All passionate heart chants sorrowful appealsH2
The measureless sweet vocalists of agesD
And for their solvent setting Earth's own diapasonG2
Of winds and woods and mighty ocean wavesI2
A new composite orchestra binder of years and climes ten foldT
renewerN
As of the far back days the poets tell the ParadisoB2
The straying thence the separation long but now the wandering doneG2
The journey done the Journeyman come homeJ2
And Man and Art with Nature fused againG2
-
-
Tutti for Earth and HeavenG2
The Almighty Leader now for me for once has signal'd with his wandK2
-
The manly strophe of the husbands of the worldL2
And all the wives respondingV
-
The tongues of violinsM2
I think O tongues ye tell this heart that cannot tell itselfN2
This brooding yearning heart that cannot tell itselfN2
-
-
Ah from a little childO2
Thou knowest Soul how to me all sounds became musicP2
My mother's voice in lullaby or hymnG2
The voice O tender voices memory's loving voicesD
Last miracle of all O dearest mother's sister's voicesD
The rain the growing corn the breeze among the long leav'd cornG2
The measur'd sea surf beating on the sandQ2
The twittering bird the hawk's sharp screamR2
The wild fowl's notes at night as flying low migrating north orN
southS2
The psalm in the country church or mid the clustering trees theT2
open air camp meetingV
The fiddler in the tavern the glee the long strung sailor songP
The lowing cattle bleating sheep the crowing cock at dawnG2
-
-
All songs of current lands come sounding 'round meI
The German airs of friendship wine and loveS
Irish ballads merry jigs and dances English warblesY
Chansons of France Scotch tunes and o'er the restE2
Italia's peerless compositionsC
-
Across the stage with pallor on her face yet lurid passionG2
Stalks Norma brandishing the dagger in her handQ2
-
I see poor crazed Lucia's eyes' unnatural gleamR2
Her hair down her back falls loose and dishevell'dQ2
-
I see where Ernani walking the bridal gardenG2
Amid the scent of night roses radiant holding his bride by theT2
handQ2
Hears the infernal call the death pledge of the hornG2
-
To crossing swords and grey hairs bared to heavenG2
The clear electric base and baritone of the worldQ2
The trombone duo Libertad foreverN
-
From Spanish chestnut trees' dense shadeQ2
By old and heavy convent walls a wailing songP
Song of lost love the torch of youth and life quench'd in despairN
Song of the dying swan Fernando's heart is breakingV
-
Awaking from her woes at last retriev'd Amina singsU2
Copious as stars and glad as morning light the torrents of her joyV2
-
The teeming lady comesU
The lustrious orb Venus contralto the blooming motherN
Sister of loftiest gods Alboni's self I hearN
-
-
I hear those odes symphonies operasD
I hear in the William Tell the music of an arous'd and angry peopleO
I hear Meyerbeer's Huguenots the Prophet or RobertQ2
Gounod's Faust or Mozart's Don JuanG2
-
-
I hear the dance music of all nationsC
The waltz some delicious measure lapsing bathing me inG2
blissW2
The bolero to tinkling guitars and clattering castanetsW2
-
I see religious dances old and newG2
I hear the sound of the Hebrew lyreN
I see the Crusaders marching bearing the cross on high to theT2
martial clang of cymbalsW2
I hear dervishes monotonously chanting interspers'd with franticP2
shouts as they spin around turning always towards MeccaT2
I see the rapt religious dances of the Persians and the ArabsW2
Again at Eleusis home of Ceres I see the modern Greeks dancingV
I hear them clapping their hands as they bend their bodiesW2
I hear the metrical shuffling of their feetQ2
-
I see again the wild old Corybantian dance the performers woundingV
each otherN
I see the Roman youth to the shrill sound of flageolets throwingV
and catching their weaponsW2
As they fall on their knees and rise againG2
-
I hear from the Mussulman mosque the muezzin callingV
I see the worshippers within nor form nor sermon argument norN
wordQ2
But silent strange devout rais'd glowing heads extatic facesW2
-
-
I hear the Egyptian harp of many stringsW2
The primitive chants of the Nile boatmenG2
The sacred imperial hymns of ChinaG2
To the delicate sounds of the king the stricken wood and stoneG2
Or to Hindu flutes and the fretting twang of the vinaG2
A band of bayaderesW2
-
-
Now Asia Africa leave me Europe seizing inflates meI
To organs huge and bands I hear as from vast concourses of voicesW2
Luther's strong hymn Eine feste Burg ist unser GottQ2
Rossini's Stabat Mater dolorosaW2
Or floating in some high cathedral dim with gorgeous color'dQ2
windowsW2
The passionate Agnus Dei or Gloria in ExcelsisW2
