Of Merlin wise I learned a song,-- <br />Sing it low or sing it loud, <br />It is mightier than the strong, <br />And punishes the proud. <br />I sing it to the surging crowd,-- <br />Good men it will calm and cheer, <br />Bad men it will chain and cage. <br />In the heart of the music peals a strain <br />Which only angels hear; <br />Whether it waken joy or rage, <br />Hushed myriads hark in vain, <br />Yet they who hear it shed their age, <br />And take their youth again.<br /><br />Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/merlin-s-song/
