First Line: They come as to a shrine
Last Line: And courage triumphs over all dismay!
Subject(s): Pilgrimages & Pilgrims; Symphonies; Concerts
They come as to a shrine,
Eager, expectant,
Wave upon wave of pilgrims seeking rest—
Rest from the cares of war;
Exiles there are, and those once persecuted.
And as the music floats from lofty dome
The listening crowd is one—
One soul set free.
Pity and love flow through them with sweet force;
Wisdom, forbearance, hope surge in their hearts,
And courage triumphs over all dismay!
