it with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.

[David:] ...well it went...and it went like this it uh...

"He and begins to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

And sometimes of us take wing and when they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
