Of music, or like trees with tempest filled,

And rolls in wide waves out o'er the lone land,

Tone following tone toward the far-setting sun,

Till where in fields long shadowed reapers stand

Bowed heads look up, and lo, the day is done....

Laurence Binyon

IL PENSEROSO

... Sweet bird that shunn'st the noise of folly,

Most musicall, most melancholy!
