What art thou? from what causes dost thou spring? Oh! Music thou divine mysterious thing? Let me but know and knowing give me voice to sing Art thou the warmth in spring that Zephyr breathes, Painting the meads and whistling through the leaves? The happy season that all grief exiles, When God is pleased and the creation smiles? Or art thou love that mind to mind imparts, The endless concord of agreeing hearts? Or art thou friendship, yet a nobler flame? That can a dearer way make souls the same? Or art thou rather which do all transcend The centre which at last the bless'd ascend, The seat where Halelujahs never end; Corporeal eyes won't let us clearly see, But either thou art heav'n or heav'n is thee.
