O Music, sent down from celestial spheres, <br />Thou sound of heaven that soothest mortal ears, <br />To which a man might listen ev’ry day, <br />And, in so doing, waste his life away, <br /> Fain would I hear thee! <br /> <br />O Music, thou that quellest human fears, <br />O thou, that bearest heaven to him that hears, <br />Thou sound divine, without which man is naught, <br />Expressive thou of ev’ry human thought, <br /> Fain would I hear thee! <br /> <br />(Spring,2005. [Tuesday,19th, or Wednesday,20th, April,2005.])<br /><br />David Mitchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/music-a-roundelay/
