Poems

<h4><SPAN name="MUSIC" id="MUSIC"></SPAN>MUSIC</h4> <p>Sounding brass and tinkling cymbal,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">He that made me sealed my ears,</span><br/> And the pomp of gorgeous noises,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Waves of triumph, waves of tears,</span><br/> <br/> Thundered empty round and past me,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Shattered, lost for ever more,</span><br/> Ancient gold of pride and passion,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Wrecked like treasure on a shore.</span><br/> <br/> But I saw her cheek and forehead<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Change, as at a spoken word,</span><br/> And I saw her head uplifted<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Like a lily to the Lord.</span><br/> <br/> Nought is lost, but all transmuted,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Ears are sealed, yet eyes have seen;</span><br/> Saw her smiles (O soul be worthy!),<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">Saw her tears (O heart be clean!).</span><br/> <br/><br/></p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
