Each with a different tone, complete or in musical fragments—
        All have welcomed thy Voice, and receive and retain and prolong it!

This is the word of the Lord! it is spoken, and Beings Eternal
        Live and are borne as an Infant; the Eternal begets the Immortal:

       Love is the Spirit of Life, and Music the Life of the Spirit!

致威廉·華茲華斯

此其法矣, 歌聲百回千轉繞回音！

甜美似林鶯囀, 曉風驚！

喜之! 純淨之心, 猶遠古崇山洞穴,  

發自深深內心, 回響胸襟,  

全音或殘篇,  曲曲有異調 —

醉美和聲人受之,  餘音裊裊！

此乃上蒼說道, 恆令芸芸眾生

猶嬰生命; 亙古不朽而後凋:

愛乃命之靈,  音律乃靈之命！
