| QUOTATION: | There is in souls a sympathy with sounds; And as the mind is pitch’d the ear is pleased With melting airs or martial, brisk or grave; Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touch’d within us, and the heart replies. How soft the music of those village bells Falling at intervals upon the ear In cadence sweet! |
