Poem by James Russell Lowell Song (Lift up the curtains of thine eyes) I. Lift up the curtains of thine eyes And let their light outshine! Let me adore the mysteries Of those mild orbs of thine, Which ever queenly calm do roll, Attunèd to an ordered soul! II. Open thy lips yet once again And, while my soul doth hush With awe, pour forth that holy strain Which seemeth me to gush, A fount of music, running o'er From thy deep spirit's inmost core! III. The melody that dwells in thee Begets in me as well A spiritual harmony, A mild and blessèd spell; Far, far above earth's atmosphere I rise, whene'er thy voice I hear.
