Stanzas For Music
by George Gordon, Lord Byron
(first published: 1815)
1
- There be none of Beautys daughters
- With a magic like thee;
- And like music on the waters
- Is thy sweet voice to me:
- When, as if its sound were causing
- The charmed Oceans pausing,
- The waves lie still and gleaming,
- And the lulled winds seem dreaming:
2
- And the midnight Moon is weaving
- Her bright chain oer the deep;
- Whose breast is gently heaving,
- As an infants asleep:
- So the spirit bows before thee,
- To listen and adore thee;
- With a full but soft emotion,
- Like the swell of Summers ocean.
