BRAHMS, OPUS 116.
I care for your pet, One Sixteen
(Your choice proves your judgment is keen);
But in E, you forget, see,
It has two intermezzi;
Please, which of these twain do you mean?
Which E? Can you ask? Must we tell?
Doth it not every other excel—
The ineffable one,
Of gossamer spun,
The ultimate spirituelle.
[p 166]
