MUSIC.
O'er the bright moonlit sea
Let music swell;
Breathe round me melody
Where'er I dwell.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Feel sad and lone,
There's nought can heal each smart
Like music's tone.
