you stand where I stand--
In my boudoir--
(don't mind my shaving-- I can't afford a barber)--
you can see into her boudoir--
you can see milady-- her back, her green smock, the bench she loves-
- her hair always down in the morning--

(the sun conspiring with the curtains?)--
reddish brown,
with ringlets at the tips-- the hairdresser called this A.M.--
him I have to, I want to afford.

Unhappily, you can't see her face--
only the back of her small round head--
and a glint of her ears, two glints-- but her hands, alas, not her hands, though
It isn't a clavichord-- only a satinwood square--
bought cheap at an auction--
but it might be, you'd think it,

a clavichord, bequeathed by the past-- it sounds quite like feathers.
Bach? Yes, who else could that be-- whom else would you have in the morning--
with the sun and milady? Grave? Yes, but so is the sun--

not always? No, but please don't ponder--
listen, hear the theme-- hear it dig into the earth of harmonies.
A dissonance? No, 'twas only a stone--
which powders into particles with the rest.
Now follow the theme--
down, down, into the soil-- calling, evoking the spirit of birth-- you hear those new tones--

that sprinkle, that burst--
roulade and arpeggio? Gently now, firmly--
with solemn persuasion--
hiding a whimsic raillery--
(does a dead king raise his forefinger?)-- though they would, though they might--
no phrase can escape--
the theme, the theme rules. Unhappy? Nay, nay--
they ought to be happy-- each is because of, in spite of, the other--
that is democracy. He can't spare a particle--
that priest of the morning sun-- A mistake? Yes indeed, but--
all the more human--
would you have her drum like a schoolmaster-- abdominable right note at the right time--
in the morning, so early--
or ever at all?
She'll play it again-- oh don't, please don't clap--
Here, try my tobacco-- good, a deep pipeful, eh?--
an aromatic blend--
my other extravagance-- yes, I'll join you, but wait--
I must dry my face!
