    Do you ne'er think what wondrous beings these?
    Do you ne'er think who made them, and who taught
    The dialect they speak, where melodies
    Alone are the interpreters of thought?
    Whose household words are songs in many keys,
    Sweeter than instrument of man e'er caught!
    - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,

When the swallows homeward fly,
When the roses scattered lie,
When from neither hill or dale,
Chants the silvery nightingale:
In these works my bleeding heart
Would to thee its brief impart;
When I thus thy image lose
Can I, ah! can I, e'er know repose?
