Music lyrics

by

Wilfred Owen


I have been urged by earnest violins
And drunk their mellow sorrows to the slake
Of all my sorrows and my thirsting sins.
My heart has beaten for a brave drum's sake.
Huge chords have wrought me mighty: I have hurled
Thuds of gods' thunder.
And with old winds pondered
Over the curse of this chaotic world,-
With low lost winds that
maundered as they wandered.

I have been gay with trivial fifes that laugh;
And songs more sweet than possible things are sweet
;
And gongs, and oboes. Yet I guessed not half
Life's symphony till I had made hearts beat,

And touched Love's body into trembling cries,
And blown my love's lips into laughs and sighs
.
