STANZAS FOR MUSIC. |

STANZAS FOR MUSIC.
When the hush of Twilight deepens
Wake, music! then;
Or when the star of Hesper glows
And flings a beam of pale repose
Where yonder tide in beauty flows,
Wake, music! then.
Wake, music! then;
Or when the star of Hesper glows
And flings a beam of pale repose
Where yonder tide in beauty flows,
Wake, music! then.
When the yearning heart is melted
Wake, music! then;
As oft some dream of perish'd days
Comes floating o'er the spirit's gaze
'Till every pulse of memory plays,
Wake, music! then.
Wake, music! then;
As oft some dream of perish'd days
Comes floating o'er the spirit's gaze
'Till every pulse of memory plays,
Wake, music! then.
When the cloud of sorrow blackens
Wake, music! then;
Or, like the hymn of moonlight-bird,
Or rain-dew in the desert heard;
Or leaflet by a night-breeze stirr'd,
Wake, music! then.
Wake, music! then;
Or, like the hymn of moonlight-bird,
Or rain-dew in the desert heard;
Or leaflet by a night-breeze stirr'd,
Wake, music! then.
When the storm of pain arises
Wake, music! then;
Like glory from an angel-eye,
Like pity in a parent-sigh,
In feeling softness tenderly
Wake, music! then.
Wake, music! then;
Like glory from an angel-eye,
Like pity in a parent-sigh,
In feeling softness tenderly
Wake, music! then.
