* * * Sacred song heals the sick spirit. The mysterious power of harmony Will expiate a heavy delusion And tame a revolting desire. The soul of a singer expressed with a concordance Is freed from all its woes, And the sacred poetry will give purity And peace to its companion. c. 1834, publ. 1835, transl. 2006
