MUSIC.
O'er the bright moonlit sea Let music swell; Breathe round me melody Where'er I dwell.
If on the ocean deep Lonely I roam, Let music round me sweep— Music of home.
As the tones mingling float With the waves play, Soothing will be each note, Melting away.
When mid the gladsome throng, Joyous I feel,Let a rich tide of song Soft round me steal.
Or should my pensive heart Feel sad and lone,There's nought can heal each smart Like music's tone.
When I am touched by death— On some loved breast,Listening to music's breath Lull me to rest.
And when I'm borne along To my last sleep, Break forth in mournful song Mellow and deep.
O'er the bright moonlit sea Let music swell, Breathe round me melody Where'er I dwell.
