THE SONG AND THE SINGER, by                    
First Line: The song and the singer are one
Last Line: When the singer is one with death.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


The song and the singer are one,
For each without each is mute;
As the moon is enslaved to the sun,
Dependent as viol and flute.

The song and the singer give voice
To flowers, and wind, and rain;
And the hearts that once sorrowed rejoice,
In beauty that songs bring again.

The song and the singer shall give
To beauty an endless breath;
For the song may continue to live,
When the singer is one with death.
