The Notes from the Piano

The notes from the piano,
Striped like a tiger,
Coloured like an old film,
As black as night,
As white as snow.

Sings like a bird on a summers day,
Groans like a sleeping giant,
A gentle giant,
The piano.

Responding to the lightest of touches,
The hardest of hits,
Living through the toughest of climates,
The longest, hardest years,
The piano.

Over generations,
Many different songs,
Through thousands of parts,
Strings, Keys,
The piano.

The notes from the piano,
Striped like a tiger,
Coloured like an old film,
As black as night,
As white as snow,
The grand piano.
