I AM MUSIC

Servant and master am I; servant of those dead, and master of those
living. Through me the spirits immortal speak the message that makes the
world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship.

I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and
the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to
Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men
lie dying with me on their lips.

I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand
nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I
open the lips of the lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the
living.

One I serve as I serve all; and the King I make my slave as easily as I
subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of
the field, the crash of waters on the rockribbed shores, the sighing of
wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the
clatter of wheels on city streets.

I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the
best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I
am them and they are of me. For I am the instrument of God.
I AM MUSIC.
