BLEST pair of Sirens pledges of Heaven's joy
Sphere-born harmonious1 Sisters Voice and Verse! Wed2 your divine sounds and mixt power employ Dead things with inbreathed sense able to pierce; And to our high-raised phantasy present That undisturbèd Song of pure concent Aye sung before the sapphire-colour'd throne To Him that sits thereon With saintly shout and solemn jubilee3; Where the bright Seraphim4 in burning row Their loud uplifted angel-trumpets blow; And the Cherubic host in thousand quires Touch their immortal5 harps6 of golden wires With those just Spirits that wear victorious7 palms. Hymns8 devout9 and holy psalms10 Singing everlastingly11: That we on Earth with undiscording voice May rightly answer that melodious13 noise; As once we did till disproportion'd sin Jarr'd against nature's chime and with harsh din12 Broke the fair music that all creatures made To their great Lord whose love their motion sway'd In perfect diapason whilst they stood In first obedience14 and their state of good. O may we soon again renew that Song And keep in tune15 with Heaven till God ere long To His celestial16 consort17 us unite To live with Him and sing in endless morn of light! 点击收听单词发音
