Sublimest Master, thou, of harmony, From whose untroubled depths serenely flow The sinuous streams of sweetest melody; Now in exhaustless fulness dost thou know The joy divine thy raptured strains foretold; God's harmony thy prayer hath satisfied, His music on thy listening ear hath rolled; Accord unmarred, for which thy spirit sighed, In its completeness, through the eternal years Is thine; thy yearning soul its echo dim Didst catch amid thy mortal woes and fears, — An earnest of the blest, perpetual hymn, And legacy to us, which shall inspire, With something of thy pure, celestial fire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HASTY PUDDING by JOEL BARLOW A CHANNEL PASSAGE by RUPERT BROOKE DOCTOR FELL by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS MUSIC IN THE NIGHT by HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): THE MOVING ROCKS by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS |
