A Violinist Plays at Dusk
The horse haired pitches, one by one,
Have tranquilized the bleeding sun.
The sun’s set on the green below,
In rays of splashing allegro.
All the children gather round
To hear the violinist’s sound,
And see the tones set in the sky:
The sun set to a lullaby.
Have tranquilized the bleeding sun.
The sun’s set on the green below,
In rays of splashing allegro.
All the children gather round
To hear the violinist’s sound,
And see the tones set in the sky:
The sun set to a lullaby.
