Hark ! what silvery music 
Floatcth on the air 1 . 
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, 
Tbuching 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.
