Rh

A passion unto music given, A sweet, yet piercing cry: A breaking heart's appeal to heaven, A bright faith's victory!

Deeper! Oh! may no richer power Be in those notes enshrined? Can all which crowds on earth's last hour No fuller language find?

Away! and hush the feeble song, And let the chord be stilled! Far in another land ere long My dream shall be fulfilled.
