In which they live triumphant still.

They're hiding in the grouad.
They are fliry-lile musicians,

Keeping time upon the trees.

They play upon the stream,
An the melody enchants US
Like the music Of dream.
A deeper bass is sounding
Where they're dropping Into caves,
With a tenor from the zephyrs,
And aU alto from the waves.
o. It's a shower OF music
And rubin don't intrude,
II, when the rain is weary
lie drops an interlude.
1t seems as if the warblngs
or the birds in all the bn%ers.
Had been gathere4l into r:..,,,,, drops,
An. was COM. ...,g dowu iu showers.
Ine blossoms all are bathing
In the liquid melody,
Breathing thanks in sweetest odors,
As they gaze into the sky.
