Of music-notes that fell through the air;

A chiming shower of strange device,

Drop echoing drop, once, twice, and thrice,

As rain may fall in Paradise.

* * * * * *

As the globe slid to its silken gloom,

Once more a music rained through the room;

Low it splashed like a sweet star-spray,

And sobbed like tears at the heart of May,

And died as laughter dies away.”
