5322 Travail, Heaven’s Love 20 April 2006 Would people know the pain in her eyes an understanding, those of a heart which cries Would they know of Yeats or Keats or even the music of Mozart or Bach Would people know what was real her pain, the way it was with her in appeal To life of a round about way, too young to be in love, yet old enough to experience amour What was left, what was to be right that love, a desire, this girl to adore So much for yesterday for where was tomorrow to travail Feet in shoes, tiptoes on glass this gravel rash made bare did they know her nakedness to share Summer days and cold winter nights would they ever know her being Maybe not, perhaps never was there really love could that be forever Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (baptised as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart; born Salzburg, 27 January 1756). is among the most significant and enduringly popular composers of European classical music. His significant output of works are widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Many of his works are part of the standard concert repertory and are widely recognized as masterpieces of the classical style. Mozart showed musical gifts at a very early age, composing when he was five and when he was six playing before the Bavarian elector and the Austrian empress. He died Vienna, 5 December 1791 and was buried in a Vienna suburb, with little ceremony and in an unmarked grave. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
