Sentiment .... Music. 
Hark ! what silvery music 
Floateth on the air ? 
In accents softly stealing 
On my listening ear ? 
Ah ! ’t is music from the heart ; 
’T is Almeda sings ! 
How it echoes through the soul. 
Touching all its springs. 
Now in softer, sweeter strains, 
Soothing every care ; 
Then in deeper swelling tones, 
Breathing praise and prayer ; — 
0, the soul-inspiring strains, 
Full of peace and love ; — 
How they gently waft the soul. 
To the world above.
