Subject(s): Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756-1791)
If to the intellect and passions strong
Beethoven speak, with such resistless power,
Making us share the full creative hour,
When his wand fixed wild Fancy's mystic throng,
Oh, Nature's finest lyre! to thee belong
The deepest, softest tones of tenderness,
Whose purity the listening angels bless,
With silvery clearness of seraphic song.
Sad are those chords, oh heavenward striving soul!
And love, which never found its home on earth,
Pensively vibrates, even in thy mirth,
And gentle laws thy lightest notes control;
Yet dear that sadness! spheral concords felt
Purify most those hearts which most they melt.
