II

Master of music! unmelodious singing

Must build thy praises now.

Master of vision! vainly come we, bringing

Words to endow

Thy silence,--where, beyond our clouded powers,

The sun-shot glory of resplendent hours

Invests thee of the Dionysiac flame.

Yet undissuaded come we, here to make

Not thine enrichment but our own who wake

Thy echoing fame.
