Sonata

....on listening to Bach's Sonata No. 1,
    performed by Henryk Szernyk


Beauty glows in every bow stroke, 
bravura beyond compare; 
golden notes like dew drops falling 
shimmer brightly through the air. 

Like larks aloft they hover lightly, 
soar like angels from on high; 
bring honour to the Lord Almighty, 
swell His praise through earth and sky. 

'Glory, glory, in excelsis,' 
with compelling artistry 
he raises us to heaven for 
a glimpse of immortality.
