Music, music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile
Shall all, all
Shall all your cares beguile
Wond'ring, wond'ring
How your pains were eased, eased, eased
And disdaining to be pleased
Till Alecto free the dead
Till Alecto free the dead
From their eternal bands
Till the snakes drop, drop, drop
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop from her head
And the whip
And the whip from out her hand
Music, music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile
Shall all, all
Shall all your cares beguile
Shall all your cares beguile
