In praise of a Stradivarius

by

VIOLIN OF DREAMS

HOW SWEETLY MUSICAL

YOU OPEN HIGH PLACES

THAT ARE MOMENTARILY

BEYOND MY MINDS COMPREHENSION

UNTIL AND WITH EVERY MAGICAL

DRAW OF YOUR BOW

I HAVE ASCENDED WITH THE LARK

TO A WORLD OF UNSURPASSED FREEDOM.

 

WHO IS TO SAY HOW CLOSE THAT WORLD IS

TO HEAVEN?

My thanks to the ladies and gents who liked this poem and the previous two.

The Lark ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams always tops the Classic FM faves list-unsurprisingly!
