LyicsO, give me music!
its sweet tones will linger round my weary heart;
The only love my soul now owns
Is wakened by the minstrel's art.
O, give me music!
let the song Be plaintive as the ring-dove's moan,
For gloomy thoughts around me throng,
Which must be borne, but borne alone.
O, give me music!
It will bring All of the past I may not tell,
And o'er my broken spirit fling
Its holy and mysterious spell.
O, give me music!
In my breast Those sweet and thrilling tones of thine
Will make a hope brighter rest,
And banish all those tears of mine.
