Romance beside
his unstrung lute,
|
|
Lies stricken
mute.
|
|
|
The old-time
fire, the antique
|
|
|
grace,
|
|
|
You will not
find them anyplace,
|
|
|
Polemic,
scientific air:
|
|
|
We strip
Illusion of her veil;
|
|
|
We vivisect the
nightingale
|
|
|
To probe the
secret of his note.
|
|
|
The Muse in
alien ways remote
|
|
|
Goes wandering.
