OLINDA SINGS (DEDICATED TO OLINDA RODRIGUEZ), by                    
First Line: Olinda sings - and there is silver spray
Last Line: Life every heart -- because olinda sings.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


Olinda sings -- and there is silver spray
From azure fountains by a flowered wall,
And chiming bells from ancient cloisters call
Above the old refrains whose echoes stray
To waken memories of yesterday;
The rhythmic swirling of a silken shawl
Accords with lilting airs that rise and fall,
While down a moonlit magic lovers sway.
Olinda sings: and white gardenias spill
Their fragrance like the essence of her song,
So loveliness is blended to distill
A harmony that carries dreams along;
New hopes and joys, like shining, vibrant wings,
Life every heart -- because Olinda sings.
