    It was the calm and silent night!
    Seven hundred years and fifty-three
    Had Rome been growing up to might
    And now was queen of land and sea.
    No sound was heard of clashing wars,
    Peace brooded o'er the hushed domain;
    Apollo, Pallas, Jove and Mars,
    Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
    In the solemn midnight,
    Centuries ago.

Ring out ye crystal spheres!
Once bless our human ears,
If ye have power to touch our senses so;
And let your silver chime
Move in melodious time,
And let the bass of Heaven's deep organ blow;
And with your ninefold harmony
Make up full consort to the angelic symphony.
