When no gentle eyebeam charms;

No fond hope the bosom warms;

Of thinking the lone mind is tired,—

Naught seems bright to be desired.

Music, be thy sails unfurled;

Bear me to thy better world;

O'er a cold and weltering sea,

Blow thy breezes warm and free.

By sad sighs they ne'er were chilled,

By sceptic spell were never stilled.
