Lyric Poem · Peace

To Music: a Song

by Robert Herrick

Music, thou queen of heaven, care-charming spell,

That strik'st a stillness into hell;

Thou that tam'st tigers, and fierce storms, that rise,

With thy soul-melting lullabies;

Fall down, down, down, from those thy chiming spheres

To charm our souls, as thou enchant'st our ears.
