First Line: Over my soul the great thoughts roll
Last Line: "wonderful, beautiful, soft, and slow"
Subject(s): Music & Musicians;soul


OVER my soul the great thoughts roll
Like the waves of a mighty sea;
But clear through the rushing and surging there sounds
A wonderful music to me.
So sweet, so low, the harmonies flow;
They rise and they fall, they come and they go;
Wonderful, beautiful, soft, and slow.

Not here, not there, not in this calm air,
Nor born of the silver sea;
Immortal -- beyond all the music of man --
It is love that is singing to me.
So sweet, so low, the harmonies flow;
They rise and they fall, they come and they go;
Wonderful, beautiful, soft, and slow.

Not mine alone this melting tone --
The soul of it comes from thee --
For thou in thy bosom art singing of love,
And the music flows over to me.
So sweet, so low, the harmonies flow;
They rise and they fall, they come and they go;
Wonderful, beautiful, soft, and slow.
