Hush!
With sudden gush
As from a fountain sings in yonder bush
The hermit thrush.
Hark!
Did ever lark
With swifter scintillations fling the spark
That fires the dark?
Again,
Like April rain
Of mist and sunshine mingled, moves the strain
O'er hill and plain.
Strong
As love, O Song,
In flame or torrent sweep through life along
O'er grief and wrong.
