i spoke to thee

UNISON with piano

Duration 2:30

Text by E. E. Cummings

Notes

This is a lovely poem and lovely sentiment although sad in nature. The unison melody is very accessible to any age and level of singer.

Text

i spoke to thee
with a smile and thou didst not
answer
thy mouth is as
a chord of crimson music
Come hither
O thou, is life not a smile?

i spoke to thee with
a song and thou
didst not listen
thine eyes are as a vase
of divine silence
Come hither
O thou, is life not a song?
