Brahms; How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place

The melody floats                                                                                     
punctuated pauses                                                                                          
unlock the doors                                                                                  
Floodgates pouring forth                                                                              
musical waterfalls                                                                                               
to shrines of wonder                                                                                                             
Uniting elements           
in splendid perfection                                                                                          
Gentle whispers                                                                                                           
Of celestial tones                                                                                                                
Carry softness, 
then                                                                                                                 
Burst into  
tumultuous                                                                                                   
rhapsody;                                                                                                          
swelling, rising,                                                                                            
surrounded by harps of     
heaven;                                                                                                        
Proclaiming 
ownership                                                                                                         
Of all who hear.                                                                                                
Take it, it is done, it's won
