¶Lyrics / Text

There soared a mighty bird in heaven, With rapid pinions, strangely white; They flashed thro' air like lightning driven Across the starless dome of night. It was the messenger of Fame, O'er all the earth a spirit flying, To tell how one to honours came; How died, and left a name undying! And thousands wakened at the story; Their fervid hopes sped up like fire; Some grasped the sword to conquer glory, Some strove to wake the poet's lyre! There sang a merry, plumed chorist, With downy feathers homely gray; And sunny plain, and shady forest, In music echoed back his lay. It was the harbinger of Peace, Who told of humble, social blessing, Of patient labours sure increase; Of friendship's joys, of love's caressing. And thousands heard the song enamoured, And flushed with toil grew cheek and brow, As timber groaned, and iron clamoured, And bravely sped the sturdy plough.
