Tomb of Mozart, Main Cemetery Vienna, Austria

The clock ticks away the hour
of midnight and in a web
of white light a piano
is playing a little
night music:
"Allegro!"
But where is the pianist?
Look at the keys, they go up
and down as the Rondo dances
through the deserted street
with this Lord and his Lady
dressed only
in her jewellery.
And the clock ticks away
the hour of midnight
when they jump
in the canal
as they always did
and always do
and forever
will.
