To dream of Pianists

To dream of Pianists, be of kind —
I know not where the words to find.

Take my years and peace of mind
If with them I must pay to find

Art worth crying, if not dying for
Art worth hiding from worldly abhor

Of human praise and gross acclaim
Lest Art die in fame’s empty frame.
