Lip-Reading Principles and Practise: A Hand-Book for Teachers and for Self Instruction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lip-Reading Principles and Practise: A Hand-Book for Teachers and for Self InstructionMusicThe ruder strains of music are denied,The music of the human voice is lost,The gulf of silence ever grows more wide,My bark sails noiseless o'er life's swelling tide,By soundless billows tost.But waves of harmony forever roll,Orchestral cadences e'er fall and rise;The mysteries of the part within God's whole,The eternal whisperings of the Over-SoulStill 'trance me to the skies.Ceaseless I hear the God of Nature callWhere green and gold chant anthems in the wood;The meadows, daisy-capped, the silver ballOf evening, stars and surging ocean - all,All sing of Love and Good.It is the symphony of symphoniesWithin my soul I hear, - to live, to work,To turn my back on stumbling yesterdays,Soul-sure defeats may e'en be victoriesIf e'er I fight, nor shirk.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
