TO MUSIC. (II)
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.
