Thirty-seven is immersed in beauty,
Having served it since he was quite
young.
If such a choice demands some
sacrifice,
Refusing with regret the merely nice,
To live with the sublime cannot be
wrong,
Yearning for it with a sense of
duty.
So the moment flows, nor plain nor pretty,
Even as the time, nor short nor long,
Vale of voices passionate, precise,
Eases into clarity, a song
Nor more nor less than perfect,
priceless, plenty.
