Rh Is on the evening gale which murmurs by, Fraught with the nightingale and wood lark's song, Or wafting from the moonlight waves soft notes Of airy melody from the wind wak'd shells In the blue waters of the sea, ere gave His power, his magic power, to human hand, He gifted thee! Thine every witching tone, In which the soul of music lives; light sounds, Sweet as a lover's serenade, or wild As minstrelsy that thrills a minstrel's dream, Or the deep swell of inspiration's glow— All are thine own, Cecilia of our isle!
