There is music by the river,  
There is music by the river,
And music by the sea,  
And music by the sea,
And music in the waterfall  
And music in the waterfall
That is gushing glad and free.  
That is gushing glad and free.
There is music in the brooklet  
There is music in the brooklet
That singeth all alone,  
That singeth all alone,
There is music in the fountain,
There is music in the fountain,
With its silver tinkling tone;  
With its silver tinkling tone;
But the music of thy spirit  
But the music of thy spirit
Is sweeter far to me  
Is sweeter far to me
Than the melody of rivers,  
Than the melody of rivers,
Or the anthems of the sea.  
Or the anthems of the sea.
Why should I dwell in silence,  
Why should I dwell in silence,
When the music is so near,  
When the music is so near,
That may overflow my spirit,  
That may overflow my spirit,
So full, so clear!  
So full, so clear!
Oh, let me listen!
Oh, let me listen!


There is music in the forest,  
There is music in the forest,
A myriad-voicèd song;  
A myriad-voicèd song;
And music on the mountains,  
And music on the mountains,
As the great winds rush along:  
As the great winds rush along:
There is music in the gladness  
There is music in the gladness
Of morning's merry light,  
Of morning's merry light,
And in silence of the noontide,
And in silence of the noontide,
And in hush of starry night.  
And in hush of starry night.
But a deeper, holier music  
But a deeper, holier music
Is the music of thy soul,  
Is the music of thy soul,
And I think the angels listen  
And I think the angels listen
As its starry echoes roll.  
As its starry echoes roll.
Why should I dwell in silence,  
Why should I dwell in silence,
When the music that is thine  
When the music that is thine
May overflow my spirit,  
May overflow my spirit,
And blend with mine!  
And blend with mine!
Oh, let me listen!
Oh, let me listen!

There is music by the river,
And music by the sea,
And music in the waterfall
That is gushing glad and free.
There is music in the brooklet
That singeth all alone,
There is music in the fountain,
With its silver tinkling tone;
But the music of thy spirit
Is sweeter far to me
Than the melody of rivers,
Or the anthems of the sea.
Why should I dwell in silence,
When the music is so near,
That may overflow my spirit,
So full, so clear!
Oh, let me listen!

There is music in the forest,
A myriad-voicèd song;
And music on the mountains,
As the great winds rush along:
There is music in the gladness
Of morning's merry light,
And in silence of the noontide,
And in hush of starry night.
But a deeper, holier music
Is the music of thy soul,
And I think the angels listen
As its starry echoes roll.
Why should I dwell in silence,
When the music that is thine
May overflow my spirit,
And blend with mine!
Oh, let me listen!
