John Henry Newman - Introduction to an Album

John Henry Newman - Introduction to an Album

I am a harp of many chords, and each br Strung by a separate hand;—most musical br My notes, discoursing with the mental sense, br Not the outward ear. Try them, they will reply br With wisdom, fancy, graceful gaiety, br Or ready wit, or happy sentiment. br Come, add a string to my assort of sounds; br Widen the compass of my harmony; br And join thyself in fellowship of name br With those, whose courteous labour and fair gifts br Have given me voice, and made me what I am.
