Music
A. Mary F. Robinson
1857 to 1944
Before the dawn is yet the day
I lie and dream so deep,
So drowsy-deep I cannot say
If yet I wake or sleep.
But in my dream a tune there is,
And rings so fresh and sweet
That I would rather die than miss
The utmost end of it.
And yet I know not an it be
Some music in the lane,
Or but a song that rose with me
From sleep, to sink again.
And so, alas, and even so
I waste my life away ;
Nor if the tune be real I know,
Or but a dream astray.
A. Mary F. Robinson's Music
I am busy working to bring A. Mary F. Robinson's "Music" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about A. Mary F. Robinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Music" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
