MIT S I G . 
List, list ! bow sweetly on the night-air floats 
This music, with a soft and thrilling sound, 
Breathing the sweetest melody around, 
And waking in each bosom kindred notes, 
Now, with a martial sound it strikes the ear, 
And rouses dreams of fame in every breast; 
Now tones of softness lull such dreams to rest, 
Calming each passion—‘soothing every fear. 
Thine, Music ! is the power divine, to raise 
And chasten, with thy gentle charm, the soul; 
Thine is the language raeetfor heaven’s praise 
Thine accents bless the earthfrom poleto pole: 
And ever to my heart thou’lt welcome be, 
And though to passion dead, ’twill ne’er be 
so to thee!
