Herman Melville,
Clarel — Part 4, Canto 15: Symphonies
(1876)
“ Whence, whence this stir, this whirr of wings? Numbers numberless convening-- 65 Harps and child-like carolings In happy holiday of meaning: To God be glory in the hight, For tidings glad we bring; Good will to men, and peace on earth 70 We children-cherubs sing! ”
