CHOPIN.

Prelude in C Minor, Opus 28.

From whirlwind to shower, / From noon-glare to shadow, / From the plough to the vesper, / A day is gone. / From passion to purpose, / From turmoil to rest, / From discord to harmony, / Life moveth on.

From terror and heartbreak, / From anger of anguish, / From vigil and famine, / A soul has gone. / By mercy of mystery, / Through trust which is best, / To feasting and sleeping now, / God calleth on.
