Harken to me my muse
bring forth
from silent mind
thy words
that comfort and uplift me...

give voice
to once muted tongue
to whisper
such sweet nothings
as to bear forth
the joyous tears of lovers.

Give strength to shaking hands...

with-hold not
thy art from me
that I may with renewed strength

make known
my innermost feelings

so pray...

harken to me my muse

and once more free my soul to sing.
