Through the world they passed, the Poet and his mystic viol. It gathered to itself the melodies that fluttered over sea and land, songs of the mountains, and songs of the valleys, murmurs of love, and the trumpet-tones of war, bugle-blast of huntsman on the track of the chamois, and mother's lullaby to the baby at her breast.
