The Complete Collection.

They arrived today;

This box, that contains 

The sounds of heaven,

Composed by a young man,

Taken from us before his time.

 

I open the box with such joy,

Knowing that the ones missing

From the collection, I have been amassing

For more than forty years,

Is now complete.

 

Now I can listen in wonder,

At the absolute genius, of a man

To whom music seemed so easy;

A man admired by all,

Even his composing peers.

 

Which shall I play first;

One I know intimately,

Or one not well known to me?

I have heard them all, but now they are mine,

To enjoy at my whim.

 

I shall savour every one of them

In my life, if I am granted time.

The complete creations

Of the genius who died so young;

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
