You who wring out your heart in tune

you who sing of the colour of the skies

and of the feel of the Spring sighs,

why do I cast my eye on the moon

 

and miss there something I would find,

something that is open and full of feeling

for all of us, half-fed mortals,

which your melodies only remind?

 

Your coursing tunes but unlock a door

in the heart to all the pent up claim

that man has been putting across to man

and finding ignored, always, evermore.
