Ketelbey, lyrical and pure
Your sumptuous melodies endure
And sooth the ear where chaos reigns
A panoply of mellow strains
Your choice of images compels
With monasteries and distant bells
"Chal Romano (Gypsy Lad)"
In princely songfulness is clad
Chinese Temple Gardens draw
A simulacrum inspiring awe
"In the Moonlight's" gentle tone
Inhabits realms that angels own
Maestro, when I hear the swell
Of "Sanctuary", then all is well
So Rest in Peace, the gods concede
Your legacy is guaranteed
Your sumptuous melodies endure
And sooth the ear where chaos reigns
A panoply of mellow strains
Your choice of images compels
With monasteries and distant bells
"Chal Romano (Gypsy Lad)"
In princely songfulness is clad
Chinese Temple Gardens draw
A simulacrum inspiring awe
"In the Moonlight's" gentle tone
Inhabits realms that angels own
Maestro, when I hear the swell
Of "Sanctuary", then all is well
So Rest in Peace, the gods concede
Your legacy is guaranteed
