A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick






225. TO MUSIC: A SONG

     Music, thou queen of heaven, care-charming spell,
     That strik'st a stillness into hell;
     Thou that tam'st tigers, and fierce storms, that rise,
     With thy soul-melting lullabies;
     Fall down, down, down, from those thy chiming spheres
     To charm our souls, as thou enchant'st our ears.
