The twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue,
The lamp fills with a pale green glow
The trees of the avenue.

The old piano plays an air,

Her head inclines this way.

That wander as they list -- -
The twilight turns to darker blue
With lights of amethyst.

Read previous: 1 - Strings in the earth and air - Make music sweet;
