| F is for Fiddles written by William Henry Davies |
| From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925 | Link to further information |
What an enchanted world is this,
What music I have heard: And when
I hear these Master fiddlers play,
I ask - 'Are these not marvellous men?'
So, since such men command the sweetest sounds,
I'll have no fear to leave my solitude
Of woods and fields,
And join the human multitude;
To hear a Master's hand express
The very soul and tenderness
Heard when a pigeon's cooing there;
To hear him make the robin sob again,
In Autumn, when the trees go bare;
Till — touching one lamb-bleating string -
We leap the Winter into Spring.
