Come nearer bodiless one, haply in thee resounds

Some dead composer, haply thy pensive life

Was fill’d with aspirations high, unform’d ideals,

Waves, oceans musical, chaotically surging,

That now ecstatic ghost, close to me bending, thy cornet echoing, pealing,

Gives out to no one’s ears but mine, but freely gives to mine,

That I may thee translate.
