Charles Hanson Towne - To A Hurdy-Gurdy

2014-06-13 4 Dailymotion

Playing on Sixth Avenue <br /> <br /> <br />Here's to you, brave Hurdy-gurdy, <br />Grinding out your happy tune <br />While the traffic round you rumbles, <br />In the city's Summer noon. <br /> <br />No one hears you! Yet the rapture <br />That you feel, despite our faults, <br />As you gaily give the measure <br />Of the latest merry waltz! <br /> <br />Trams are rolling all about you-- <br />How the Elevated roars! <br />And above their noise and tumult <br />Your thin twanging vainly soars. <br /> <br />Good for you, poor Hurdy-gurdy! <br />Play, unheard, your little part; <br />Would that I could sing as you do, <br />With but half as brave a heart!<br /><br />Charles Hanson Towne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-hurdy-gurdy/
