ALL THESE MAKE MUSIC, by                    
First Line: Whose ear is tuned to rhythm nature gives
Last Line: That beats in tune with nature's rhythmic art.
Subject(s): Music & Musicians


Whose ear is tuned to rhythm nature gives
Will find his joy in music magnified;
Each hour may bring new harmony that lives
And throbs in every dale and countryside.
The anthem sung by meadow larks at dawn,
Low sounds of sleepy herds, content to rest,
The chirp of crickets on a sunlit lawn,
Brisk swallows' chatter, as they fly to nest,
The plaintive moan of wind in rocking trees,
A scythe's clean swish that lays ripe grasses low,
Defiant boom of shore-flung angry seas,
The fall of silent flakes on marble snow:
All these make music to rejoice the heart
That beats in tune with nature's rhythmic art.
