UNCERTAINTY by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: SOMETIMES A PHRASE
Last Line: ARE SOFTLY BLOWN.
Subject(s): DOUBT; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; SKEPTICISM;
SOMETIMES a phrase
That Ariel sings
Is audible. Though wings
Make sighing music, fainter things
Are Ariel's lays.

I think I've known
The gradual drift
Of tones that pauses lift,
As petals through a pleached rift
Are softly blown.
