Of Merlin wise I learned a song, -- Sing it low, or sing it loud, It is mightier than the strong, And punishes the proud. I sing it to the surging crowd, -- Good men it will calm and cheer, Bad men it will chain and cage. In the heart of the music peals a strain Which only angels hear; Whether it waken joy or rage, Hushed myriads hark in vain, Yet they who hear it shed their age, And take their youth again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY BIRD by EMILY CHUBBUCK JUDSON A SUMMER NIGHT by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL THE HUNCHBACK by JOHN PEALE BISHOP YESTERDAY by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN THE CHAMPION (SUGGESTED BY A STORY OF JACK LONDON) by BERTON BRALEY DRAMATIC IDYLS: 2ND SERIES.
