The song was sung: the Sprite again
To worship with the rest return'd:—
Rose the great Master's offspring then,
And all his face with fancy burn'd:
His cheeks were flush'd, his eyes were fill'd
With light that love alone can give;
His beating heart with feelings thrill'd
That only rise where love doth live:
He smil'd on all, and with a voice
That made each beauteous breast rejoice—
That every Sprite of woe beguil'd,
Thus Reumon spoke—the Spirit's Child:
