When passion streaming from the heart turns human lips to lyres,Some magic.....

When passion streaming from the heart turns human lips to lyres,

Some magic wings man’s music then, his song with soul inspires;

Man’s words are sacred then, they soar, The ears of heaven they seek,

From dust those mortal accents rise, Immortals hear them speak;

So wild and wayward was my Love, such tumult raised its sighs,

Before its daring swiftly fell the ramparts of the skies.
