Oliver Wendell Holmes - An Impromptu - II

Oliver Wendell Holmes - An Impromptu - II

AT THE WALCKER DINNER UPON THE br COMPLETION OF THE GREAT ORGAN br FOR BOSTON MUSIC HALL IN 1863 br br I ASKED three little maidens who heard the organ play, br Where all the music came from that stole our hearts away: br 'I know,' - said fair-haired Edith,-'it was the autumn breeze br That whistled through the hollows of all those silver trees.' br 'No, child!' ' said keen-eyed Clara, it is a lion's cage, br They woke him out of slumber, I heard him roar and rage.' br 'Nay,' answered soft-voiced Anna, ''t was thunder that you heard, br And after that caine sunshine and singing of a bird.
