These words to a great teacher may best express our feelings: MAESTRA They came to her, tall from their fathers' farms, Walking with willow-wind upon their thighs. From villages and from a city street, They cane with red-lipped songs for her to hear, The gay girls with their voices high and sweet. And the bronzed boys, their laughter sweet and clear. She took Che wild green singing that they brought, The childish words and untrained melodies, And with a master's hand she tempered, taught, And urged immortal music out of these. She touched the young musicians, made them wise, Betty Wall Madsen iii |
