      NOTES:

      HYMN TO JOY.

      Joy, thou goddess, fair, immortal,

      Offspring of Elysium,

      Mad with rapture, to the portal

      Of thy holy fame we come!

      Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever,

      But thy magic joins again;

      All mankind are brethren ever

      ‘Neath thy mild and gentle reign.

      CHORUS.

      Welcome, all ye myriad creatures!

      Brethren, take the kiss of love!

      Yes, the starry realms above

      Hide a Father’s smiling features!

      He, that noble prize possessing—

      He that boasts a friend that’s true,

      He whom woman’s love is blessing,

      Let him join the chorus too!

      Aye, and he who but one spirit

      On this earth can call his own!

      He who no such bliss can merit,

      Let him mourn his fate alone!

      CHORUS.

      All who Nature’s tribes are swelling

      Homage pay to sympathy;

      For she guides us up on high,

      Where the unknown has his dwelling.

      From the breasts of kindly Nature

      All of joy imbibe the dew;

      Good and bad alike, each creature

      Would her roseate path pursue.

      ‘Tis through her the wine-cup maddens,

      Love and friends to man she gives!

      Bliss the meanest reptile gladdens,—

      Near God’s throne the cherub lives!

      CHORUS.

      Bow before him, all creation!

      Mortals, own the God of love!

      Seek him high the stars above,—

      Yonder is his habitation!

      Joy, in Nature’s wide dominion,

      Mightiest cause of all is found;

      And ‘tis joy that moves the pinion,

      When the wheel of time goes round;

      From the bud she lures the flower—

      Suns from out their orbs of light;

      Distant spheres obey her power,

      Far beyond all mortal sight.

      CHORUS.

      As through heaven’s expanse so
