Lullaby And Goodnight (Ode To A Music Box) Poem by David Whalen

Lullaby And Goodnight (Ode To A Music Box)



<center>
Sound that brings
Back memories
Sounds that make
One cry

…From an ol’ music box…

Sound that tears
Tears from one’s eyes
And wrenches forth
Deep sighs

…Nothing quite like an ol’ music box…

No, nothing says poignancy
More so…
than does the silken notes
That softly flow

…From a music box…

That plays ‘Lullaby
And Good Night’
And tinkles down
E’er so slow

Til wound again
…Up tight…
