Till the breezeS come to riot,
All the wealth OF petals flingingi
Thus, my cello, with thy singing.
Cello. Cello!

Thine the poignant, somber sobbing
OF a heart in sorrow throbbing.

Thrilling chords that surge with pleasure,
Beating rs9n swaying N net aWeet and hoiiow
AS the echoings that follow.
'CeIlol Cello!
Here my arm has worn thee yellow;
Here my fingers. in excesses
OF the warmth of my caresses
Left their prints, when strings vibrating
Told my loving and my hating.
Whence thy soul undying,
Fount of laughter and of signing?
Whence the soul that brings to seeming
All the gold of all my dreaming?
