From harmony, from heav'nly harmony -- When nature underneath -- From harmony, from heav'nly harmony -- What passion cannot music raise and quell! -- The trumpet's loud clangour -- The soft complaining flute -- Sharp violins proclaim -- But oh! what art can teach -- Orpheus could lead the savage race -- As from the pow'r of sacred lays. |
