First Line: Enchanted, you listen to music
Last Line: Intangible, lost magic!
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
Enchanted, you listen to music
That fades at my rash approach.
It disappears within the dimension
That is lost to all save children.
I catch a glimpse of felicity
That touches an old chord,
But so faintly,
I must hold my breath to hear it.
Intangible, lost magic!
