Band of Reeds
An orchestra sounds
As the wind blows across the waters
Every pitch is thrown and bounces
Around the heart of the sick lover
Pining in remembrance of a lovely voice
Who had no love for him
And his constancy to gain her
Drove her to change her identity
As he searched her out
Among the fields, valleys and streams
He heard her singing
He saw her body dancing in the wind
And he found her yet knew it not
He bruised her ignorantly
Cut her off from the earth
He made her whole again
And tying her together
He sits and holds her
He kisses her
And lies with her every night
But he never realizes his dream
Though he receives consolation
As he plays the band of reeds
She cries under his breath
As she regrets her deceit
Only now to be in his arms
Bound by him and to him
She will be all he desired
As he is solaced and she weeps
They make beautiful music together
