by Frances ("Fanny") Jane Crosby (1820 - 1915)

There's music in the air
Language: English 
There's music in the air,
When the infant morn is nigh,
And faint its blush is seen
On the bright and laughing sky.

Many a harp's ecstatic sound
With its thrill of joy profound,
While we list enchanted there
To the music in the air.
