How Ghosts Still Burble Happiness

The gigue from balletti
Lamentabili, how
Cheerful we are for such

A name as sheet music,
How you reenact us,
Our lively dances, or

Not our dances, our strings,
You puppeteers of bows.
After all that has gone

Down, the generations
Done, done to, and dissolved,
Here you hear us streaming

Fresh tears, merrily, gigue,
Lamentabili. Dance.
