The Music Hall

It creeps, cold up my spine, a chill

When I recall that flautist’s trill

The strings, controlled at player’s will

Make music at their beck and call.


The brass with grand and pompous blast

Strip bare our hearts and leave aghast

And drumrolls rumble low and fast

To tell a tale of frightful fall.


The audience cheers, the players bow

The room, it shakes with thund’rous row

And lo you’ll see us nightly now

All gathered at the music hall.
