Explore "On a Fly-Leaf of "Flute and Violin"" by Annie Fellows Johnston on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A MASTER-HAND hath swept / Life's violin and flute.
For him they laughed and wept / When others found them mute.
From his high altitude / He catches, fine and clear, / The notes that might elude / A less discerning ear.
Transposing to a lower key / The dream-song that he hears, / He sets his heavenly melody / To human smiles and tears.
