A CERTAIN Chopin prelude once I heard. Strive as I may to tell, no mortal word Can all-express that music. Like a bird My soul went up the blue -- the sweetest pain, The deepest passion, love without a stain, A high and holy yearning that had lain Buried, did come in a white company, In tremulous procession, unto me. For an immortal moment I was free Of the flesh, and leaped in spirit and was strong With beauty, shaken by magic of that song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
