MY LONDON - music setting

This is posted to herald the welcome signs of spring in this great city.  Now put in a music setting, 

intended for a currently produced CD of "poems to music" called "POETRY TO PLEASE".

...........................................................................

In all the world there's nowhere quite

Like London on a soft spring night

When saffron sunset sends its grace

To linger on a much-loved face.

 

And all around the very air

Thrills with time as if aware

That this great city is the stage

For this and every other age.

 

So much history - so much done...

So much to tell the setting sun.

.............................................................................

K.E-D and JC - your comments are appreciated as
always. The words are mine...the setting and
recitation are courtesy of Pete Dymond - of
Diamond Studios, Bristol. He and Marcie Summers
are busy putting my conception of poetry to music
and effects on a CD compilation for me. It is
fascinating how various poetic themes work in this
way - and both say how much they are enjoying
the challenge - and the fun of something a bit
different.

Your words, MC? Your voice?
Lovely rhythm and delicately done.

I like this M.C.

So much imagery, in so few words.
