Odes of Strangers, XVII

Siegfried Asher, among the Choir
I heard your song, like a Castrato
Androgynous. Hermaphroditous,
Among God's elect, singing
The hymns, beautif'lly  
The hymns,---melodious, sonorous.
At a point within the music
You touch a note, and realizing its sheer
Magnificence, it pleases you,---like Aphrodite
You make the gathering fall in love.
