I earnestly hope that thou wilt
memorize all the Persian poems revealed by the Blessed Beauty and wilt sing
them in a voice of incomparable sweetness at Bahá'í meetings and gatherings.
The day is not far distant when these poems will be set to Western music and
the sweet accents of these songs will reach the Abha Kingdom with exceeding joy
and gladness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, The
Importance of Arts in Promoting the Faith)
