I am in need of music that would flow
\nOver my fretful, feeling finger-tips,
\nOver my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
\nWith melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow.
\nOh, for the healing swaying, old and low,
\nOf some song sung to rest the tired dead,
\nA song to fall like water on my head,
\nAnd over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow!<\/p>\n
There is a magic made by melody:
\nA spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool
\nHeart, that sinks through fading colors deep
\nTo the subaqueous stillness of the sea,
\nAnd floats forever in a moon-green pool,
\nHeld in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.<\/p>\n
