In the cool and silent night By the flickering candlelight, When the weary are at rest And sweet Bonn with peace is blest He comes! Sitting at the spinet there, (Ghostly face and waving hair) With imprisoned ecstasy 'Tis the Second Symphony He plays! From those yellowed ivories Rise the rarest memories Of those long-forgotten days, Broken now the spell—it fades ... He goes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYMPHONIC STUDIES (AFTER ROBERT SCHUMANN) by EMMA LAZARUS PAPER ANNIVERSARY by MURIEL RUKEYSER AT A BACH CONCERT by ADRIENNE CECILE RICH THAT GENERAL UTILITY RAG, BY OUR OWN IRVING BERLIN by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A SPRING SYMPHONY by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR THE WORLD DICTATES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A NEW YEAR'S SYMPHONY by MARGARETTE BALL DICKSON SIXTH SYMPHONY by LIDA MARIE ERWIN MUSIC; TO ETHEL BARTLETT AND RAE ROBERTSON (AFTER THEIR CONCERT) by JOHN FREEMAN DEFEAT by ETHEL TONRY CARPENTER |
