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
