| | | MAN’S music changes | |
| With the changing of his hours, | |
| Though birds trill the same songs | |
| They trilled on Petra’s towers. | |
| |
| Always | 5 |
| From olden hallways | |
| He led to beauty’s ample rooms— | |
| Out to her rain-drenched garden’s frond, | |
| Out to her suns … beyond … beyond. | |
| Ah! did we call his art a whim, | 10 |
| Before we woke to him? | |
| |
| High above war | |
| His music, rising past the stars, | |
| Is heard at heaven’s door. | |
| Heaven opens to the soul of song, | 15 |
| And unto art that never ends | |
| The soul of song ascends. | | | | |
