The arts are old old as the stonesC

Deep are the days the old arts bringE
Ten thousand years of yesteryearD

She is madonna in an artF
As wild and young as her sweet eyesG
A frail dew flower from this hot lampH
That is today's divine surpriseG
-
Despite raw lights and gloating mobsI
She is not seared a picture stillJ
Rare silk the fine director's handK
May weave for magic if he willJ
-
When ancient films have crumbled likeL
Papyrus rolls of Egypt's dayM
Let the dust speak Her pride was high-
All but the artist hid awayM
-
Kin to the myriad artist clanN
Since time began whose work is dearD
The deep new ages come with herO
Tomorrow's years of yesteryearD
