First lines
No new delights to our desire / The singers of the past can yield. / I lift mine eyes to hill and field, / And see in them your yet dumb lyre, / Poets unborn and unrevealed.
Singers to come, what thoughts will start / To song? what words of yours be sent / Through man's soul, and with earth be blent? / These worlds of nature and the heart / Await you like an instrument.
Who knows what musical flocks of words / Upon these pine-tree tops will light, / And crown these towers in circling flight / And cross these seas like summer birds, / And give a voice to the day and night?
