Perchance not even O thought
Welded and by fertile fancy stirred !;

But harmonies OF sound;
And yet Withal the language Of the soul
Interpreting another to his goal.
Or else thyself to those who hear,
And lend to thee the sympathetic ear.

A host OF melodies
springing from fingers skilled In tune
Writing 50 well the silence Of the

While raptured listeners living with

Or dear in part with these yet living,
trun
Their mutual eyes
To welcomed spirits brooding over
head
And in communion learn
The fulness OF a life ere life hath fed.
