[97. A spell comes o'er th' excited soul whene'er]
A spell comes o'er th' excited soul whene'er
Soft music floats upon the breeze; all things
Do then inanimate or quick appear; to feel.
Soft music floats upon the breeze; all things
Do then inanimate or quick appear; to feel.
The insect on the winged sound seems borne
The bird is urged on its airy course; the bark
Is wafted on—mysteriously—
The bird is urged on its airy course; the bark
Is wafted on—mysteriously—
