I could be struck blind at noon, but I will
Have seen you teach music itself to dance
And all of movement's secret dreams fulfill
Somehow, my absurd life gave me the chance

To watch the sun gaze at you with envy
While the tea sang your praises
And the eggs scrambled from the pan to see
Me hastily weave a net of phrases

Strong enough to catch your spinning glory
Before the cremation of the toast could
Prevent you from finishing your story
Rhythmically told by pretty feet to wood

The fruit derives its sweetness from your smile
Your pirouettes a blind man could beguile
