时长: 03:53
seated one day at the organ,[00:00:21]
i was weary and ill at ease,[00:00:25]
and my fingers wandered idly[00:00:30]
over the noisy keys.[00:00:35]
i know not what i was playing,[00:00:39]
or what i was dreaming then;[00:00:44]
but i struck one chord of music,[00:00:49]
like the sound of a great amen.[00:00:52]
it flooded the crimson twilight,[00:01:17]
like the close of an angel's psalm,[00:01:21]
and it lay on my fevered spirit[00:01:26]
with a touch of infinite calm.[00:01:30]
it quieted pain and sorrow,[00:01:34]
like love overcoming strife;[00:01:39]
it seemed the harmonious echo[00:01:43]
from our discordant life.[00:01:48]
it linked all perplexed meanings[00:01:52]
into one perfect peace,[00:01:57]
and trembled away into silence[00:02:01]
as if it were loth to cease.[00:02:06]
i have sought, but i seek it vainly,[00:02:11]
that one lost chord divine,[00:02:15]
which came from the soul of the organ,[00:02:19]
and entered into mine.[00:02:24]
it may be that death's bright angel[00:02:36]
will speak in that chord again,[00:02:42]
it may be that only in heav'n[00:02:46]
i shall hear that grand amen.[00:02:51]
