Are not the mountains, waves, and skies a part Of me and of… - Lord Byron

" "
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies a part
Of me and of my soul, as I of them?
Is not the love of these deep in my heart
With a pure passion? should I not contemn
All objects, if compared with these? and stem
A tide of suffering, rather than forego
Such feelings for the hard and worldly phlegm
Of those whose eyes are only turned below,
Gazing upon the ground, with thoughts which dare not glow?

There’s music in the sighing of a reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a rill;
There’s music in all things, if men had ears:
Their Earth is but an echo of the spheres.

The light of love, the purity of grace,
The mind, the Music breathing from her face,
The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
