And all the hearts right grew more tender and bright,

As the Tanagers grew apace;

And those of insight, said, “The birds have a right

To partake of our friendly grace.”


THE RHYTHM UNIVERSAL

Give me thy music, O most musical One,

The rhythm that rolls from yonder cycling sun;

Yea more, as heart and soul of all that’s good,

Thy nature gave in vaster plenitude;
