MUSIC AND MEMORY

Across the tides of music, in thé nieht -

Her magical face,

A light upon it as the happy light

Of dreams in some delîcious place

Underthe moonlight in the nïght.

Music, soft throbbing music in the nisht Mer memor}- swims ■ ■ 7 ' . .-'

Into thé brain, a carol of delight* The cup of music overbrims ' ' ■ With wine of meraory, in the nïght.

Her face across the music, in the nitrht Her face a refrain, & '

A light that sings along the waves of lieht A memory that returns again, Music in music, in the night. '

. Arthur Symons.
