Have you ever heard <br />On a summer evening <br />The violins and the cellos sobbing? <br />While high in the sky <br />Swallows are dancing <br />A place where the bows on too tight cords <br />Are running up faster than life <br />Faster than death <br />Where grey-faced musicians <br />In spite of all <br />Smile to the children around <br />Where tears flow like streams <br />Stemming from springs <br />Believed to be for ever dried up <br />Do you hear, still, <br />This light music? <br /> <br />Avez-vous déjà entendu sangloter <br />Un soir d’été <br />Violons et violoncelles <br />Tandis que dans le ciel dansent des hirondelles? <br />Un lieu où les archets, sur des cordes trop tendues <br />Courent plus vite que la vie, que la mort <br />Où les musiciens, aux visages si gris <br />Malgré tout sourient? <br />Où des larmes dévalent comme des torrents <br />Issus de sources que l’on croyait pourtant <br />A jamais taries?<br /><br />Alain Ilan Braun<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-music/
