¶Liedtext

Ah! native music! beyond comparing The sweetest far on the ear that falls, Thy gentle numbers the heart remembers, Thy strains enchain us in tender thralls. Thy tones endearing, Or sad or cheering, The absent soothe on a foreign strand: Oh! who can tell What a holy spell Is in the song of our native land? The proud and lowly, the pilgrim holy, The lover, kneeling at beauty's shrine, The bard who dreams by the haunted streams,— All, all are touch’d by thy power divine! The captive cheerless, The soldier fearless; The mother,—taught by Nature’s hand, Her child when weeping, Will lull to sleeping, With some sweet song of her native land!
