| cross bones The rose flesh of life shriveled from all | B |
| faces Nothing counts Everything is a fake Dust to | C |
| dust and ashes to ashes and then an old darkness and a | D |
| useless silence So he saw it all Then he went to a | D |
| Mischa Elman concert Two hours waves of sound beat | E |
| on his eardrums Music washed something or other | F |
| inside him Music broke down and rebuilt something or | G |
| other in his head and heart He joined in five encores | H |
| for the young Russian Jew with the fiddle When he | I |
| got outside his heels hit the sidewalk a new way He | I |
| was the same man in the same world as before Only | I |
| there was a singing fire and a climb of roses everlastingly | I |
| over the world he looked on | J |
