¶Lyrics / Text

There’s music in the midnight breeze, There’s music in the morn; The daybeam and the gentle eve Sweet sounds have ever borne; The valley hath its welcome notes, The grove its tuneful throng, And ocean’s mighty caverns teem With nature’s endless song. The winds that sweep the mountaintop Their joyous echoes bear; Young Zephyrs on the streamlet play, And make sweet music there; With rustling sound the forest leaves Bend to the passing breeze; And pleasant is the busy hum Of flower seeking bees. The heart, too, has its thrilling chords, A consecrated fount, From which inspiring melodies To heaven in gladness mount. Why Nature’s music—but that man May join the myriad throng Of all her glorious works in one Harmonious burst of song.
