Queen of Sheba |
Ev’ry sight these eyes behold |
Does a different charm unfold; |
Flashing gems and sculptur’d gold, |
Still attract my ravish’d sight. |
But to hear fair truth distilling, |
In expressions choice and thrilling, |
From that tongue so soft and killing, |
That my soul does most delight. |
Opera Stanford |
