¶Lyrics / Text

<Poem>Music, how powerful is thy charm that can the fiercest rage disarm, calm passions in a human breast and lull even jealousy to rest with amorous thoughts the soul inspire and kindle up a warlike fire, so great is music's power. Sad Orpheus through hell's dreary coast was seeking for his comfort lost. His music drew the ghosts along, and fu-ries listen to his song. His song could Charon's rage disarm and Pluto, and his comfort charm. so great is music's power. Amphion with his tuneful lyre could rocks remove and stones inspire, com mand a city to arise and lofty buildings touch the skies while stones obedient to his call harmonious moved and formed a wall so great is music's power.</Poem>
