Lives of the Great Composers

Poetry by Dana Giogia

Herr Bruckner often wandered

into church

to join the mourners at a funeral.

 

The relatives of Berlioz were horrified.

"Such harmony,"

quotes Shakespeare,

"such immortal souls . . .

we cannot hear it."

 

But the radio is playing,

and outside

rain splashes to the pavement.

Now and then

the broadcast fails.

On nights like these Schumann

would watch the lightning streak

his window panes.

 

Outside the rain is falling

on the pavement

a scrap of paper

tumbles down the street.

 

On rainy evenings, Schumann

jotted down his melodies

on window panes

"such harmony! we cannot hear."
