Spirit of the Hour (Soprano)
Soon as the sound had ceased whose thunder filled the sky,
There was a change: the impalpable thin air
And the all-circling sunlight were transformed
As if the sense of love, dissolved in them,
Had folded itself round the spherèd world.
Dizzy as with delight I floated to the earth:
It was, as it is still, a pain of bliss
To move, to breathe, to be; I wandering went
Among the haunts and dwellings of mankind,
And behold, thrones were kingless, and men walked
One with another ev'n as spirits do,
None fawned, none trampled, none with eager fear
Gazed on another's eye of cold command,
None wrought his lips in truth-entangling lines
Which smiled the lie his tongue disdained to speak;
Nor pride, nor jealousy, nor envy, nor ill shame,
Spoilt the sweet taste of the nepenthe, love.
Written by: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Sir Charles Hubert Parry
