lyrics

I AM IN NEED OF MUSIC (Elizabeth Bishop)

I am in need of music that would flow

Over my fretful, feeling fingertips,

Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,

With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow.


Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low

Of some song sung to rest the tired dead,

A song to fall like water on my head,

And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow


There is a magic made by melody:
A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool 

Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep
To the subaqueous stillness of the sea,

And floats forever in a moon-green pool,

Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep
