GOLDEN NUMBERS
Then read from the treasured volume the poem of thy choice.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Hark! the numbers soft and clear
Gently steal upon the ear;
Now louder, and yet louder rise,
And fill with spreading sounds the skies;
Exulting in triumph now swell the bold notes,
In broken air, trembling, the wild music floats.
Alexander Pope.
