We kneel to our Fattier Confessor
And tell our trouble nnd care,
And we gather consolation
That follows after prayer.
But nothing brings peace
To tny heartache ease.
And still Its bitter cry.

Tfnumerel! Ob. wondroua melody,
Inspired nml ungci-Qiught, '
Exquisitely mournful, a sigh
sweet.
And soul of men and kings ,
In harmony meet.
Destroys or makes onr lives,
Docent by frail form the soul of magic
