Oriental Love Rhapsody

Quiet ... to ... Hush ...
                                     Quiet ... to ... Hush ...
                                The Butterfly wings gently over the flowers
                                     As the Flute whispers in the wind ...

          Soft ... to ... Gentle ...
               Soft ... to ... Gentle ...
          The Goldfinch warbles its song across the lake
               And the Strings add their rhythmic hum ...

                      Mild ... to ... Mellow ...
                             Mild ... to ... Mellow ...
                      The Crickets click their heels as evening falls  
                              While a solitary Drum holds court in melodic bass ...

     Rest ... to ... Calm ...
          Rest ... to ... Calm ...                    
     The Trees sway in cadence with the breeze
          So, Too, the tinkling of Bells chime in their harmony ...

                                Caress ... to ... Love ...
                                     Caress ... to ... Love ...
                                 A Teardrop warms its cheeky path
                                      For the Symphony has touched a Heart ...
