STRENGTH OF THE ORCHESTRA by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER

First Line: TWO HANDS ARE MANIPULATING
Last Line: OF MONSTROUS OAKS.
Subject(s): BANDS; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; ORCHESTRAS;

Two hands are manipulating
This satisfying upheaval.
They are cracking the stars
Like walnuts,
Turning the mountains on pivots,
Insanely braiding
The outraged roots
Of monstrous oaks.
