MOZART.
Most beautiful among the helpers thou!All heaven's fresh air and sunshine at thy voiceFlood with refreshment many a weary brow,And sad souls thrill with courage and rejoiceTo hear God's gospel of pure gladness soundSo sure and clear in this bewildered world,Till the sick vapors that our sense confound,By cheerful winds are into nothing whirled.O matchless melody! O perfect art!O lovely, lofty voice, unfaltering!O strong and radiant and divine Mozart,Among earth's benefactors crowned a king!Loved shalt thou be while time may yet endure,Spirit of health, sweet, sound, and wise, and pure!
