Lyrics: William Strode
When whisp'ring strains do softly steal
With creeping passion through the heart,
And where at ev'ry touch
We feel our pulses beat, and bear a part;
When the threads can make a heart-string quake,
Philosophy can scarce deny
The soul consists in harmony.
O lull me, charming air,
My senses rock with music sweet;
Like snow on wool thy fallings are,
Soft like a spirit are thy feet;
Grief who need fear, that hath an ear,
Down let him lie, and slumb'ring die,
And change his soul to harmony.
When whisp'ring strains do softly steal
With creeping passion through the heart,
And where at ev'ry touch
We feel our pulses beat, and bear a part;
When the threads can make a heart-string quake,
Philosophy can scarce deny
The soul consists in harmony.
O lull me, charming air,
My senses rock with music sweet;
Like snow on wool thy fallings are,
Soft like a spirit are thy feet;
Grief who need fear, that hath an ear,
Down let him lie, and slumb'ring die,
And change his soul to harmony.
