    Reed Songs I-IV

    Uploaded by

    Christine Murray
    The document discusses reed songs and references different sections of poetry or passages. It mentions a double-reed carrying a muffled tune from leaf to root, and that there is substance to both fallen wood and winged birds. It references the muse Euterpe and her double flute song, and describes the changing colors of coral from red to yellow to brown. It describes a Connemara horse against a stone wall near a famine grave marked with a monument. It contrasts preferring a muse's song to a crystal chandelier, and ends by requesting the reed song or hollow bone tune over the noise of a tea room.
