June, 1866.
Breathe thro' me in music,
Spirit of the time!
Pregnant with the future,
Spirit of the time!
Spirit of the time!
Pregnant with the future,
Spirit of the time!
As the west wind sougheth,
Through the swaying pine,
Sweep thro' all my branches
With thy song divine.
Through the swaying pine,
Sweep thro' all my branches
With thy song divine.
Nations now are rolling
Onward, as the sea
Which the moon upheaveth,
Thus upheaved by thee.
Onward, as the sea
Which the moon upheaveth,
Thus upheaved by thee.
