They march in; end up dancing.
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
They march in
Down the aisles
The whole orchestra
People clapping
To a beat
Beauty happening
In Maastricht.
Andre* is back home. (*Rieu)
And the night
Is magic.
Want to laugh?
Want to listen?
Want to dream?
Want to weep?
Want to remember?
Want to dance?
This is the place.
Strauss sets the pace.
About this poem
