Song of the Melody Makers

Because in the midst of a muted desire
We have tuned our desire to haunting song,
Because, at a word from our hearts of fire
A whole world's tears and laughter throng;

Because we imprisoned our thoughts in a rime,
And fashioned a name for a nameless thing;
We dreamers shall live through the bounds of time—
Eternal, because of the dreams we sing.

—C.A.E.
