Allegro
I play Haydn after a black day
and feel a simple warmth in my hands.
and feel a simple warmth in my hands.
The keys are willing. Soft hammers strike.
The resonance green, lively and calm.
The resonance green, lively and calm.
The music says freedom exists
and someone doesn't pay the emperor tax.
and someone doesn't pay the emperor tax.
I push down my hands in my Haydnpockets
and imitate a person looking on the world calmly.
and imitate a person looking on the world calmly.
I hoist the Haydnflag - it signifies:
"We don't give in. But want peace.'
The music is a glass-house on the slope
where the stones fly, the stones roll.
"We don't give in. But want peace.'
The music is a glass-house on the slope
where the stones fly, the stones roll.
And the stones roll right through
but each pane stays whole.
but each pane stays whole.
Allegro- quick tempo.

A poem about the power of music. Haydn is a famous classical composer. The glass house is spectacular because it can resist the rocks.
