To Anne as she plays the spinet
Maurice Ravel
When I see all in order the brunette,
young, with beautiful figure, shaped like the gods,
and when her voice, her fingers and the spinet
make a sound sweet and melodious,
It is a joy for my ears and my eyes,
more than the saints in their immortal glory.
And even as they, I become glorious
When I think that she loves me a little.
