Orphéus et Euridyce - Mélodie

The bees about the Linden-tree,
When blithely summer blooms were springing,
Would hum a heartsome melody,
The simple baby-soul of singing;
And thus my spirit sang to me
When youth its wanton way was winging:
“Be glad, be sad—thou hast the choice—
But mingle with music in thy voice.”

-- James Carnegie, Earl of Southesk (1827-1905)
