Ode to Happiness

- 


Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades 
Past the near meadows, over the still stream, 
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep 
In the next valley-glades: 
Was it a vision, or a waking dream? 
Fled is that music: do I wake or sleep?
-John Keats (Ode to a Nightingale)

An art work dedicated to " Lift Every Voice and Sing "  by James Weldon Johnson "Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list’ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
