Like a black swan as death came on
Poured forth her song in perfect calm:
And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin
Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer
And notes tremendous from her great engine
Thundered out on the Roman air

Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited
Moved to delight by the melody
White as an orchid she rode quite naked
In an oyster shell on top of the sea
At sounds so entrancing the angels dancing
Came out of their trance into time again
And around the wicked in Hell's abysses
The huge flame flickered and eased their pain

Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions
To all musicians, appear and inspire:
Translated Daughter, come down and startle
Composing mortals with immortal fire

I cannot grow
I have no shadow
To run away from
I only play
