A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along
To a handsome mannered baton
A blind cla** aristocracy
Back through the op'ra gla** you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino!
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall; a costly bow
The music; all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter's swan
Columnated ruins domino!
Canva** the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?
Dove nested towers, the hour was-
Strike the street, quicksilver moon!
Carriage across the fog-
Two-step to lamplight's cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The gla** was raised
The fired rose
The fullness of the wine
The dim-last toasting
While at port, adieu or die
A choke of grief, heart-hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry
Surf's up, aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word...
Wonderful thing...
A children's song
