CHANCE-CHILD of some lone sorrow on the hills, Bach finds a babe: instant the great heart fills With love of that fair innocence, Conveys it thence, Clothes it with all divinest harmonies, Gives it sure foot to tread the dim degrees Of Pilate's stair -- Hush! hush! its last sweet breath Wails far along the passages of death. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINER NOTES TO AN IMAGINARY PLAYLIST by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 13 by CONRAD AIKEN BELIEVE, BELIEVE by BOB KAUFMAN ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE POWER OF MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES A SERMON AT CLEVEDON; GOOD FRIDAY by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
