Fugue

Constant interweaving of sound
as water through reeds;
voices sing one to another,
and pattern,
like sunlight through water
unfolds from the tangled thread of sound.
The lovely theme
twists through the subtly 'mazing web
as sunlight through reeds.
Here end and beginning,
the circle just,
Here logic from Leipzig,
and mystic calm
from unknown countries of the soul.
