THE MUSIC OF A FRIEND by LOUIS V. LEDOUX

First Line: I HAD A GARDEN WHERE FOR SUNLESS DAYS
Last Line: FULL-THROATED, CAME THE MUSIC OF A FRIEND.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS; SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
I had a garden where for sunless days
And many starless nights the dusky ways
Were weed-o'ergrown and silent. There I heard
No voice of love low calling to its own,
And found nor joy nor beauty; but alone
I lived, till through the silence, like a bird
Full-throated, came the music of a friend.
