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.
