Music's Empire by Andrew Marvell — Love Poetry Lines
First was the world as one great cymbal made, Where jarring winds to infant Nature played. All music was a solitary sound, To hollow rocks and murm'ring fountains bound. Jubal first made the wilder notes agree; And Jubal tuned music's Jubilee; He call'd the echoes from their sullen cell, And built the organ's city where they dwell. Each sought a consort in that lovely place, And virgin trebles wed the manly bass.
