WITH SILVER STRINGS, by                    
First Line: With silver strings my harp is strung
Last Line: On silver wings!
Subject(s): Happiness; Harps; Musical Instruments; Singing & Singers; Joy; Delight; Lyres; Songs


With silver strings my harp is strung
And in an inner crypt is hung
So other fingers may not stroke
Its silver strings, its frame of oak;
No other hear its song.. once sung:
The wild sweet songs its silver tongue
Once wildly to the wooing flung,
With silver strings

That lisped with joy ... with pain was wrung;
With ecstacy that glows among
The leaping flames, the fumes that choke,
The lurid lights, the acrid smoke,
That veiled the night whose pearls are slung
On silver wings!
