I need to borrow a friend's piano this week, and to butter them up for it, I want to send some poetry about music.
But the problem is that I don't have a single poem about music in the back of planner. A couple of quotes, but no real poetry.
Does anyone have a favorite? I realize that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, but surely there's Grecian revival pirouette of a poem out there. Posts: 1163 | Registered: Jan 2005

Oh sacred art, how oft in hours blighted, While into life's untamed cycle hurled, Hast thou my heart to warm love reignited To transport me into a better world!
So often has a sigh from thy harp drifted, A chord from thee, holy and full of bliss, A glimpse of better times from heaven lifted. Thou sacred art, my thanks to thee for this.
That one's by Franz von Schober.
