Never more alas will I <br />hear again a babies cry. <br />The bird song on a summers day, <br />The laughter of a child at play. <br />The bustle of life all around, <br />Gone! now, I cannot hear a sound. <br />Though music that I still adore <br />will fill the concert hall no more. <br />My love of it will still be fed <br />I hear it still inside my head. <br /> <br />Copyright B Hough 2009<br /><br />George Bernard Hough<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/music-and-the-senses-hearing/
