Listen to that song, and learn it! Half my kingdom would I give, As I live, If by such songs you would earn it.

Such songs have power to quiet The restless pulse of care, And come like the benediction That follows after prayer.

The song on its mighty pinions Took every living soul, and lifted it gently to heaven.

Whoever benefits his enemy with straightforward intention that man's enemies will soon fold their hands in devotion.

I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.
