¶Lyrics / Text

Song should breathe of scents and flowers; Song should like a river flow; Song should bring back scenes and hours That we loved–ah, long ago! Song from baser thoughts should win us; Song should charm us out of woe; Song should stir the heart within us, Like a patriot’s friendly blow. Pains and pleasures, all man doeth, War and peace, and right and wrong,– All things that the soul subdueth Should be vanquished, too, by Song; Song should spur the mind to duty; Nerve the weak, and stir the strong: Every deed of truth and beauty, Should be crowned by starry Song!
