SYMPHONY OF A MEXICAN GARDEN
1. THE GARDEN Poco sostenuto in A major
The laying tide of inarticulate air.
Vivace in A major
The iris people dance.
2. THE POOL Allegretto in A minor
Cool-hearted dim familiar of the doves.
3. THE BIRDS Presto in F major
I keep a frequent tryst.
Presto meno assai
The blossom-powdered orange-tree.
4. TO THE MOON Allegro con brio in A major
Moon that shone on Babylon.
TO MOZART
What junipers are these, inlaid
With flame of the pomegranate tree?
The god of gardens must have made
This still unrumored place for thee
To rest from immortality,
And dream within the splendid shade
Some more elusive symphony
Than orchestra has ever played.
