TO THE MUSIC OF MOZART

 

Symphony No. 27 in G, K. 199: Second Movement, Andante

 

Smiling, three women come into the salon,

Three young women under the high ceiling.

 

They curtsey together and, turning and circling,

Smoothly they move to invisible music,

 

While all around them the mute world is sleeping,

Feeling the hush of the late afternoon.

 

Softly the strings sound—and clarinet and flute,

Two shafts of bright daylight in a shadowy room.
