  [Born at Eisenbach in Germany—1685-1750.] In sixteen hundred eighty-five Long, long before you were alive, In the town of Eisenbach Was born Johann Sebastian Bach. From his father ever kind And his brother he did find The key to enter Music Land, Which he found so sweet and grand. No more industrious lad could be Than Johann, who loved "Industry." "The Mighty Master" he is known Of the organ's every tone. Twice this music master wed And he was happy so 'tis said; But he worked both day and night Though he was blind he cheerful kept And o'er his sorrow never wept, And when he died he left a son, To shine for him when his work was done. |
