MUSIC by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: THERE IS AN ORGAN IN MY ELM
Last Line: THESE AIRS OF OUT-OF-DOORS!
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS; NATURE;

THERE is an organ in my elm,
A harp within my maple tree;
And Maestro Wind from each compels
An equal harmony; --

At morning a sonata clear,
A symphony superb at noon;
And with the soft descent of eve
A pure and pensive tune.

What need have I in crowded towns
To seek for grand orchestral scores,
When daily through my casement drift
These airs of out-of-doors!
