Fur Elise



O! Fur Elise my love in notes arise,
Whose coax made rise my heart in music's flux!
To sway in trove's piano's soft devise,
And trance in loving's tempo er breve's luxe!
See how your flow did reel in tune's enthrall,
Upon the languid keys in strolls sweet quite,
To rouse mind's here entrance to bright of soul,
While other melodies be lesser height ?
Yet in this play of keys again's resound,
Here gentle please is crowned in yearns advent,
To catch an eager went in its around,
Whose climax once more is a lease present!
Thus did this Bagatelle strike love's accord,
To transfix in melodic's pure concord  !
