  [These musical jingles were written for my teacher, Miss Matilda Orr Hays, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.] There's music, music everywhere On sea and land and in the air. It sounds from all things far and near And brings the weary rest and cheer. 'Tis in the rose and every flower; 'Tis in the storm and gentle shower; 'Tis in the waters of the brook And every pleasant shady nook. We hear its notes within the trees And in the hum of busy bees. 'Tis in the song of every bird And in the voice of woman heard. But best of all 'tis in our hearts And there Love's message it imparts, For MUSIC is the tongue of Love, The fairest gift from realms above. |
