Bright Heart Poem by Casey Jarrell

Along the distant sea,
I heard a wonderful melody.

The music, it had so much love.
It even moves the birds that fly from above.

Along the distant shore, as I come to appear,
I saw a young girl, playing the violin, that was so very near.

When I arrived, the song began to soar.
It was as if it was creating a golden door.

From the door, there came a carriage cart.
She rode away with the melody from her one, bright heart.
