MUSIC.
Music pervades all nature; wind and wave,And wood and waterfall, and bird and bee,
Sing thro' the livelong day. Each varying tone
From ocean's murmur, and the stormy roll
Of the loud thunder, to the tiny hum,
Made by the busy insect in its flight,
Is eloquent of music. Ev'n the leaf,
Stirr'd by the touch of the harmonious breeze,
Doth not deny its tribute of sweet sound;
All things, in earth and air, both great and small,
All things that God hath made, unite to swell
The chorus of the universal song.
