THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
J\)e " Qrou/n " pianos and Organs.
There came to me, borne on a soft zephyr wing,
The notes of a melody Seraphs might sing.
A moment it lingered, then deftly it stole,
Through the drum of my ear to the depth of my
soul,
And held me enthralled in its strong silken spell,
While around and within me its waves rose and
fell,
Till the tinsel and tumults of earth were forgot,
And I stood, as a captive, fast chained to the
Spot,
And rode—in my spirit— a wide open sea
And laved in the bliss of a great harmony.
How long it enthralled me I cannot avow,
For I hardly am free from the spell of it now.
But I scarce could believe that such seraphic
fires
A player had kindled from sound-board and
wires ;
Yet there sat the player, and there the thing
stood-—
An instrument fashioned from metal and wood—
And I glanced at the name, as the cover went
down,
And read, in gold letters, the single word
" Crown."
I wondered no longer—the name which it bore
Was insignia of rank which it rightfully wore.
THE perfection to which the reed organ can be

power and yet wonderful sweetness.
