English poem
To a Lady, XXIII
by A. Cleveland Coxe (1818–1896)
It was a wind-harp’s magic strong, Mov’d by the breeze in dreamy song; But I was gone too far to know What stirr’d my troubled spirit so, And in my fancy, came a flood Of visions, strange to flesh and blood, And nameless shapes that hover’d round; Such was the wizard power of sound!
