I rediscovered you tonight
after a lengthy absence,
flourishing on the threshold
of a clover leaf,
a Paris green opera house.
Autumnal eye perceived
you during maidenhead
time in all your nubile élan.
You had to swallow
your pride to return
to this branch, and now
even the fuchsia-faced
asters wave their welcome.
Junoesque and elegant,
then, and at this time,
gained for your charm
an inimitable light
that ascended soprano,
sustaining a rangeful,
charismatic 'voce di petto'.
Nothing in your composition
has lapsed nor pitched
into an achromatic refrain.
Goddess Diana continues
to sing and dance
in your enchanting eyes.
I rediscovered your unique
'savoir vivre', and you were
unarranged by my unflagging
faith, but I will always admire
you even when the maestro
moon isn't shining so
spiritedly over the silver
stream of song.
