Music



Underground

is buried

one grand sonata,

unaware

the earth

will play it

on the day

some miner's pick

or water-seeking bit

or unattended phrase

frees it

from the rock.




                                                                Richard Hacken

(as suggested to him by Novalis, a German Romantic Poet)

Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen,
Die da träumen fort und fort.
Und die Welt hebt an zu singen,
Triffst Du nur das Zauberwort.
