Stanzas for Music Print E-mail

There be none of beauty's daughters
  With a magic like thee;
And like music on the waters
  Is thy sweet voice to me:
When, as if its sound were causing
The charmed ocean's pausing,
The waves lie still and gleaming,
And the lulled winds seem dreaming.

And the midnight moon is weaving
  Her bright chain o'er the deep,
Whose breast is gently heaving
  As an infant's asleep:
So the sprit bows before thee;
To listen and adore thee,
With a full but soft emotion,
Like the swell of Summer's ocean.

- Lord Byron
