　　Out into the night. Alas, how few

0 n4 J3 F% H. G7 I: [, Y　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.

　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings
$ O, }) ]- ^  M& Q- T$ Z　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
