157 Musicians wrestle everywhere— All day—among the crowded air I hear the silver strife— And—walking—long before the morn— Such transport breaks upon the town I think it that "New Life"! If is not Bird—it has no nest— Nor "Band"—in brass and scarlet—drest— Nor Tamborin—nor Man— It is not Hymn from pulpit read— The "Morning Stars" the Treble led On Time's first Afternoon!
