A rousing inspiration, or
A peaceful repose?

The bugle at start of battle, or
The lyre at calm evening's close?

The mother of joy, or
The child of pain?

Only seen in sunshine, or
Only felt in rain?

To acquire and possess, or
Ephemeral, a lifetime's pursuit?

Perhaps 'tis sight to the blind.
Perhaps 'tis voice of the mute.
