The harp we love hath a royal burst!
⁠Its strings are mighty forest trees;
And branches, swaying to and fro,
⁠Are fingers sounding symphonies.

The harp we love hath a solemn sound!
⁠And rocks amongst the shallow seas
Are strings from which the rolling waves
⁠Draw forth their stirring harmonies.

The harp we love hath a low sweet voice!
⁠Its strings are in the bosom deep,
And Love will press those hidden chords
⁠When all the baser passions sleep.
