I Am in Need of Music

Lyrics
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
