WHEN KREISLER PLAYS, by                    
First Line: He lifts his slender bow
Last Line: Your cherished dreams—that ever grow more real.
Subject(s): Kreisler, Fritz (1875-1962); Music & Musicians


He lifts his slender bow:
Down those clear notes
Trip all your happy hours
You wander Childhood's lovely lanes
Standing knee-deep in flowers:
Soft, timid things brush by you on swift wing
Trees rustle gently and birds gaily sing,

Silence awhile—and then
He lifts his bow again:
Down to your heart's far depths
Those rich tones steal
Tearing the filmy mask of pride away
Giving you back for one rare, priceless day
Your cherished dreams—that ever grow more real.
