And oh! the sweetness of thy gentle tongue Is maily chained upon my spirit now, Like the bright diadeni of glory hung Around tite radiance of an age's brow. When firoan the isles of heaventy love she brings, The healings of the -pirit on her wings. Ard now thy music thrills me, as if all The liquid gtshings of thy voice could roll. Anid mingle wi.h my spirit, like thi fall U mighty wa ors circling round the soil! And like the swnetness of the ocean shell 'Tihat in the azure of*the waves doth dip, Thy tender voice upon my sos doth swell.
