Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Among other things, Ives was one of America's great art song composers. He .set some unusual texts -- his own letter to the editor bemoaning the results of the 1920 election, for instance, or Rossetti's translation of Folgore di San Gimignano's "December." Oh, and Rachel Lindsay's "General William Booth Enters Into Heaven." And John McCrae's "In Flanders' Fields." Marni Nixon, an Ives specialist, was best known as the "ghost singer" for Natalie Wood in "West Side Story," Audrey Hepbrn in "My Fair Lady," and other film versions of popular musicals.
