WHAT SHALL I SING? What shall I sing, I prithee, O Muse? For song burns my bosom to-day; And it flows o’er me like a wave o’ the sea, A dream-wrought, subtle melody. Shall’t be of the wondrous present, This scientific, restless age; Or cull from the field the centuries yield Rich gems from history’s page? Shall it be of stern war and the cause For which millions of men are slain, And heroic days with glory ablaze, Dear freedom and honor to gain? Shall I sing of the stars of heaven That forever their orbits keep-- Beautiful, serene stars of heaven, Gemming the eternal deep? Shall it be of the grand old ocean, And its bright isles far away, With life all free as th’ unbounded sea, A subtle and golden day? Shall I tell of the glory of sunset, And the twilight soft on the lea, The murmuring winds, through foliage and vines, And the moon that silvers the sea?
