Then read from the treasured volume the poem

of thy choice.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW.

Gently steal upon the ear;

Now louder, and yet louder rise,

And fill with spreading sounds the skies; Exulting in triumph now swell the bold notes, In broken air, trembling, the wild music floats.

ALEXANDER POPE.
