A Song of the Woods

[RaspK]

A song I dare you to compose

your most beautiful music for;

your sweet, maddening chords

will chime on hills once more.

 

I want to hear the horns, the flute

play the sounds of your loon!

But I can only listen to them,

under the guise of New Moon.

 

Pray tell, my kindly, dear bard,

write, sing, and chant as ever;

I want to tell you so much,

how I will tremble forever,

 

in memory of tunes and gigs,

of medley music in the night,

played by fauns and spirits,

that always remain out o' sight.

 

I cannot remember the words,

the tune escapes my mind,

so repeat it for me, oh please,

please, my bard, be so kind!

Αυτό είναι, κατά κάποιον τρόπο, μια πρόκληση προς τον αδερφό μου, που είναι μουσικός. Του ζήτησα να μου το μελοποιήσει (όντας, ας πούμε, ο βάρδος της ιστορίας), και θ' ανεβάσω, αν το δεχτεί, τ' αποτέλεσμα για να τ' ακούσετε κι εσείς.
