letra de ralph waldo emerson- art - richard mitchley

give to barrows, trays, and pans
grace and glimmer of romance;
bring the moonlight into noon
hid in gleaming piles of stone;
on the city’s paved street
plant gardens lined with lilacs sweet;
let spouting fountains cool the air
singing in the sun-baked square;
let statue, picture, park, and hall
ballad, flag, and festival
the past restore, the day adorn
and make to-morrow a new morn
so shall the drudge in dusty frock
spy behind the city clock
retinues of airy kings
skirts of angels, starry wings
his fathers shining in bright fables
his children fed at heavenly tables
‘t is the privilеge of art
thus to play its cheerful part
man on earth to acclimate
and bеnd the exile to his fate
and, moulded of one element
with the days and firmament
teach him on these as stairs to climb
and live on even terms with time;
whilst upper life the slender rill
of human sense doth overfill
