Sonata

Beauty glows in every bow stroke, 
virtuosity beyond compare; 
golden notes like dew drops falling 
shimmer brightly in 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 at immortality.
