You think me deaf? I heard a snowflake fall.
I heard a rainbow singing; and the faint,
Blue shadowed melody that twilight plays
On spinet trees and I heard the quaint
Elf music made by moonbeams on still waters,
And heaven’s anthems as the stars appear;
And once I heard a star . . .Oh, I have music
Sweeter than songs that reach the outer ear!
