In the evening as far as the eye can see herds of black pianos Up to their knees in the mire they listen to the frogs They gurgle in water with chords of rapture They are entranced by frogs, moonish spontaneity
After the vacation they cause scandals in the concert hall During the artistic milking Suddenly they lie down like cows Looking with indifference at the white flowers of the audience At the gesticulating of the ushers

A Green Lowland of Pianos
In the evening as far as the eye can see herds of black pianos
Up to their knees in the mire they listen to the frogs
They gurgle in water with chords of rapture
They are entranced by frogs, moonish spontaneity
After the vacation they cause scandals in the concert hall
During the artistic milking
Suddenly they lie down like cows
Looking with indifference at the white flowers of the audience
At the gesticulating of the ushers
Black pianos, black pianos.
