From 8th May to 8th August

Forsake me not, Sweet Power!

Make my life music with Thy kiss—

I pray that if one hour

Be without breath of Thy blue bliss,

Let it be like the stop of a flute

Where a master finger turns mute

The magic air, that air may stream

A perfect shape of the heart's dream

Through other stops, and with each stifle free

More subtle tones of the Infinite Mystery.
