LIFE'S MAGIC INSTRUMENT, by                    
First Line: Exhaustlessly the unbidden heart
Last Line: And steals silently away.


Exhaustlessly the unbidden heart
whose phantom fortitude exceeds our song
tip-toes the minutes of eternity...

One two, one two --
as step by step life's golden coins are spent
one two, one two --
past ache and ill and perilous predicament.

Thus journeys on this muscled miracle --
asleep, awake
to keep our rendezvous with fate --
one two, one two...
until the day
time gathers up our odds and ends
and steals silently away.
