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.
