FELICIA HEMANS. - ZaunköniG - 17.12.2012 As softest music when at evening hour Awakes the grove, or in the ruin grey Resounds amid the scenes of vanish'd pow'r Is the melody of each beauteous lay, Bearing the soul admiringly away As on th' air harmonious sound is borne, Lighting where'er expressive emblems stray Of fading grandeur, or by time uptorn; Never too high that the thought cannot reach, Nor yet depress'd, but lowly, as to teach What e'en the fairest Muse has o'er her thrown, Then, as some orator ascends a hill From which his voice th' encircling valleys fill, Her genius its conccntr'd pow'r makes known. |
