Analysis of A Minuet Of Mozart's
Sara Teasdale 1884 (St. Louis) – 1933 (New York City)
Across the dimly lighted room
The violin drew wefts of sound,
Airily they wove and wound
And glimmered gold against the gloom.
I watched the music turn to light,
But at the pausing of the bow,
The web was broken and the glow
Was drowned within the wave of night.
