Let me go where'er I will I hear a skyborn music still: It sounds from all things old, It sounds from all things young, From all that's fair, from all...
Let me go where'er I will
I hear a skyborn music still:
It sounds from all things old,
It sounds from all things young,
From all that's fair, from all that's foul,
Peals out a cheerful song….
'Tis not in the high stars alone,
Nor in the cup of budding flowers,
Nor in the red-breast's mellow tone,
Nor in the bow that smiles in showers.
But in the mud and scum of things
There always, always something sings. ('Music' by Ralph Waldo Emerson)
