The harp we love hath a royal burst! <br />Its strings are mighty forest trees; <br />And branches, swaying to and fro, <br />Are fingers sounding symphonies. <br /> <br />The harp we love hath a solemn sound! <br />And rocks amongst the shallow seas <br />Are strings from which the rolling waves <br />Draw forth their stirring harmonies. <br /> <br />The harp we love hath a low sweet voice! <br />Its strings are in the bosom deep, <br />And Love will press those hidden chords <br />When all the baser passions sleep.<br /><br />Henry Kendall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/harps-we-love/
