4. canto

Dang! Even singing has to be forlorn? Nothing uplifting? Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no joy in Mudville?

Actually, very very musical, like a song, a song not long, internal rhyme, infernal time well kept, never slept...
oh Hell! I forgot – it’s your poem.

OK, one more time. It sounds out very much like music, and the internal rhymes keep it from seeming too structured or artificial. It didn't make me cry (unlike W-F), but I liked it a lot.
