Music

Topics: classic

Music doth uplift me like a sea     Towards my planet pale,     Then through dark fogs or heaven's infinity     I lift my wandering sail.     With breast advanced, drinking the winds that flee,     And through the cordage wail,     I mount the hurrying waves night hides from me     Beneath her sombre veil.     I feel the tremblings of all passions known     To ships before the breeze;     Cradled by gentle winds, or tempest-blown     I pass the abysmal seas     That are, when calm, the mirror level and fair     Of my despair!
