Cathedrals built to music over time
So relate certain Victorians
Now music while the cathedral’s coming down
Illumination
Challenging the fire
A story goes that Camelot arose
To Merlin’s music
There’s Aslan singing so that
Narnia can come to life
And did not the utterance of Christ
Make all worlds
They watch and listen to
The fire
There is heat to feel
Ash to smell
And the taste of ruination
There is more as music
Cups the feeling of the tears
And gives, unbidden, thought to soul
Vive la France
Vive l’homme
