Poet Analysis

First Line: CONTENTEDLY WITH STRICTEST [OR RIGOROUS] STRANDS CONFINED
Last Line: OR ROLL AGAINST THE STARS THEIR ROCK-BOUND SONG.
Subject(s): BACH, JOHANN SEBASTIAN (1685-1750); COMPOSERS; MUSIC & MUSICIANS; SCIENCE; SCIENTISTS;
Contentedly with strictest strands confined,
Sports in the sun that oceanic mind:
To leap their bourn these waves did never long,
Or roll against the stars their rock-bound song.
