Music, in a pulsing chord,
Has stolen through my heart
And found its parallel within –
Ah, now it shan't depart.
A twin to its own being –
Such a wondrous harmony:
It makes me tremble, shiver, quake,
To hear that perfect key.
How can a melody surreal
And not a thing of flesh
Bring to the soul such wonder
And an air so sweet and fresh?
Immortal tunes are fit to play
Immortal souls a piece –
Play on! Play on, thou blessed song,
And may you never cease.
