VIOLIN AND VIOLA by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: AT TIMES, WHEN, WITH AN ANGUISH ALL TOO KEEN
Last Line: THE GRAVE VIOLA PLAINING OF OLD LOVES.
Subject(s): DOVES; GRIEF; LOVE - LOSS OF; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; VIOLINS; SORROW; SADNESS;
AT times, when, with an anguish all too keen,
The violin doth tensely tell of grief,
Tugging at heart-strings till the tale, I ween,
Is over-cruel, calls for some relief:
I joy to hear, like cooings of lost doves,
The grave viola plaining of old loves.
