Jan Kubelik

by Carl Sandburg, 1916

Your bow swept over a string, and a long low note quivered to the air.
 (A mother of Bohemia sobs over a new child perfect learning to suck milk.)

 Your bow ran fast over all the high strings fluttering and wild.
 (All the girls in Bohemia are laughing on a Sunday afternoon in the hills with their lovers.)
