chiming, rhyming,
echoes of pregnant phrases
singing straight into the heart.
music of stars in their courses,

ice crackling, snow hushing,
rain drumming, leaves rustling,
the song of a wineglass strumming,
the booming bass of a diggery-do,
rain drumming, leaves rustling,
the song of a wineglass strumming,
the booming bass of a diggery-do,
the song of the sea in a shell,
cockles and mussels all the day through.
