Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE FGHG IJKL FMNO PQRS STUT| Sometime at a concert hall in recollection | A |
| A Brahms intermezzo will wound me I'll start | B |
| Remember that summer the flowerbed garden | A |
| The walks and the bathing the tryst of six hearts | C |
| - | |
| The awkward shy artist with steep dreamlike forehead | D |
| Her smile into which one would dive for a while | E |
| A smile as good natured and bright as a river | F |
| Her artist's appearance her forehead her smile | E |
| - | |
| They'll play me some Brahms I will shudder surrender | F |
| And in retrospection the sounds will evoke | G |
| That faraway summer the hoard of provisions | H |
| My son and my brother the garden the oak | G |
| - | |
| The artist would stuff in her overall pockets | I |
| Her pencils and objects with fanciful names | J |
| Or would inadvertently dropping her palette | K |
| Turn much of the grass into colourful stains | L |
| - | |
| They'll play me some Brahms I'll surrender remember | F |
| The stubborn dry brushwood the entrance the roof | M |
| Her smile and appearance the mouth and the eyebrows | N |
| The darkened verandah the steps and the rooms | O |
| - | |
| And suddenly as in a fairytale sequence | P |
| The family neighbours and friends will appear | Q |
| And memories crowding I'll drown in my weeping | R |
| Before I have time to have shed all my tears | S |
| - | |
| And circling around in a swift intermezzo | S |
| Embracing the song like a treetrunk at noon | T |
| Four families' shadows will turn on the meadow | U |
| To Brahms's compelling and childhood clear tune | T |
