A MUSICAL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: OUTSIDE THE RAIN UPON THE STREET
Last Line: IT SANG IN ECSTASY.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS;

OUTSIDE the rain upon the street,
The sky all grim of hue,
Inside, the music-painful sweet,
And yet I heard but you.

As is a thrilling violin,
So is your voice to me,
And still above the other strains,
It sang in ecstasy.
