Early Sprinkling by Samuel Sebastian Wesley
From Twyford deeper waters start to flow.
At least that is the place where Wesley poured
The priming of the well. The master’s glow
Went down into the learner’s core. The chord
Struck then could not be banished by the will
Of father for his son to grow to be
In business. No, that most unworthy chill
Would be replaced by music’s warmer plea.
The baritone at Eton made his name
As pianist and writer set for song,
The songs of many facets yielding fame.
The soul of compositions was too strong:
..Sonatas, fugues and symphonies gushed through
….Him, old but new, creations, chord-like, true.
