It touched the heart Subdued the spirit’s power
Blent with the Danube’s moan, and wailed around the tower
Richard’s Song
Thrice, the great fadeless lights of heaven
The moon, and the eternal sun
As God’s unchanging law was given,
Have each their course appointed run.
Three times the Earth, her mighty way
Hath measured o’er a shoreless sea;
While hopeless still from day, to day,
