Rainbow colors flame and glow
When I hark to Muzio.
Silver filigree is fair
But her notes are far more rare;
Gossamer of dreams are they,
Soft and sweet as break of day,
Crystal clear and pure as frost,
Light as foam when tempest tossed.
When she laughs or when she sights
Starry beams are in her eyes.
In her beauty and her grace,
In her wistful, tender face
Are the outward signs of art;
But her voice is of the heart,
Like a vivid, skyborn thing,
Like a lilting bird on wing,
Opalescent as the dawn,
Mystic as when night draws on.
Moonlight shimmers, zephyrs blow
When I list to Muzio!
