The movement gathers power
Richness and fullness
Foretelling the music yet to come
As they play the last bars
Their eyes are locked
And unspoken thoughts are felt

With the prelude's last notes
Instruments are discarded
She's swept up in his arms
Kisses adagio, caresses andante
Kisses andante, clothes fall allegro
Who is the violin,
Who is the bow?
The music celestial
Who cares to know

Tempo allegretto
Finally scherzo
The duet is played out
They bask in the glow

The first duty of love is to listen.

This musical composition becomes operatic on its own a'chord...

Mr. Yeats, a place in the library, maestro!
