"O, SACRED SOULS THAT GRANDLY SING."

O sacred souls that grandly sing

The secret songs of human hearts,

Where your wild music madly starts,

The sorrows into raptures spring!

Within the warbles of your chimes

Man reads the longings of his days,

And finds, amid your lofty lays,

Glad music for his gloomy times.

How sweet the mute, melodious cries
