There's music know
In ths measured flow
OF words to the Light guitar.
And magic spell
Hath the gentle swell
Eolian notes afar. -
And love the war
OF waves In the shore
OF the dark and sonorous sea.
And my spirit bounds
When hear the sounds
or Natures glad symphony.
Yet sweeter by far
Than harp or guitar,
Or song the nightingale sings,
Are tho tones that start
From a kindred heart
When love breathes over the strings
