A Minuet of Mozart's by Sara Teasdale
Across the dimly lighted room
The violin drew wefts of sound,
Airily they wove and wound
And glimmered gold against the gloom.
I watched the music turn to light,
But at the pausing of the bow,
The web was broken and the glow
Was drowned within the wave of night.
A bit meta here: art about art. Read this one aloud and delight in it.
"Mommy, hear the rhythm? It's like music! Oh--It's like Mozart!"
Yes, yes it is.
Love it! And I must say you have the prettiest hand writing!:)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn!
DeleteNow you've gone and done it. I simply must go and buy a hardback book of Sara Teasdale's poetry! ... :D Beautiful selection!
ReplyDeleteHaha--sorry to be an enabler. ;) Really, though, we have loved Teasdale's poetry all term. We're moving on to Term 3 now and I'm sad to see her go!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely, Celeste! Love the commonplace book too. You do have gorgeous handwriting :-)
