Is music more than any song.

And voices hail it from the brink;

The herald of a higher race,
And of himself in higher place,
If so he type this work of time

These leaves that redden to the fall;
And in my heart, if calm at all,

My spirit is too deeply laden
Ever to burthen thine.

And peered into a million faces blank
Faces without bodies bodies without faces
The owners of nothing breakers of stone
The owners who are owned I have known them all

as you count coins in the Manhattan snow
or is it only Linda
who dreams of home?
