First Line: A high clear chord will tear my heart
Last Line: That I remember all my days.
Subject(s): Love; Moon; Rainbows
A high clear chord will tear my heart
But oh a stillness after;
Soft ladders to the stars are strung,
And played upon with laughter.
And dripping rainbows reach the moon
Lutes light and gay as rustic love,
Oh I can know a high clear note
And fling my dreams to skies above --
But when a silence follows after,
White shadows weave a thousand ways,
And hopes unsung cry in the winds
That I remember all my days.
