IN his Cry.
THEY may talk OF De Meyer
Who smashing the wire,
Makes harmonies whirl through maze
But fairies, with wings,
Float over the strings.
While our own native minstrel PLAYS
They come flashing on rays
In tremolo blaze,
And gracefully float far away;
Then wilder and prouder
And deeper and louder,
The soul sings its passionate lay.
Ever wider it ranges
And harmonized changes
Through swift flights of octaves go sIaneing
While lovely creations,
In sweet modulntions.
Like moon dimpled waters are dancing
When Herr touches the keys
Ii seems like breeze
That kisses the waters in tune
And whispers low
Ia graceful flow.
Through the velvet meadows oi June
But as soft aud clear
On the charmed ear
Fall the sweet aerial trills,
Like dewy showers
On fragrant flowers.
When our own native minstrel wills.
And his glowing soul.
Like burning coal
OF inward fire in every ven.
Sends a sunny gusb.
Or q lightning rush,
of ardent life through every strain.
Then welcome once more
Thou bright Troubadour,
As pleasant as birds in the Spring
And may echoes OF fame
Fly as far with thy name,
As Swallows can float on the wing
