The Bird her punctual music brings
And lays it in its place —

And in the Heavenly Grace —
What respite from her thrilling toil

But Work might be electric Rest
To those that Magic make —
The Bird her punctual music brings
And lays it in its place —
Its place is in the Human Heart
And in the Heavenly Grace —
What respite from her thrilling toil
Did Beauty ever take —
But Work might be electric Rest
To those that Magic make —
