The Homily

Written for the Opera “Pepita Jiménez,” composed by Señor Albeniz, performed at Prague in 1897, and founded on Juan Valera's novel of that name, first made known in England by Mr. Coventry Patmore in his Religio Poetæ.

Who preaches Love is wrong
No flower must ever see,
Nor hear the song-bird's song
Deride his homily!

Who teaches Love was made
Accurs'd, must never be
Where all the summer glade
Derides his homily!

How foolish Man's arraignment
Of Love, whose strength of mirth
Enforces an enchainment
On the sorrow of the Earth!
