A Hymn Of Praise Poem by Will Barber

A Hymn Of Praise

Rating: 5.0


The keys and staves demark strait paths
The restless note must travel on;
The note's the beast that carries
The burden of the sound.

Music evokes a sympathy
In willing heart, the symbol of
A presence, constantly descending,
White wings of endless love.

2006

A lovely hymn to a charming lady. Poetry like music seals connections that can be made in no other way.

Very nice link between “music” and “sympathy”. I immediately think of “symphony”. Music has many voices. I will have to think more about what is said to divulge the deeper meanings of all that is said.
