O melody divine, of fantasy

And frenzied mem'ry wrought, advance

From out the shades; O spectral utterance,

Untwine thy chains, thy fair autocracy

Unveil, have being, declare

Thy state and tuneful sovereignty.

Ye gifted ears,

To whom this burdened, sad creation

Sings, now in tones of exultation

Abruptly broken,
