JUST DAVID
The friends, the relatives, the adoring public,
the mint of money — they are all David’s now.
But once each year, man grown though he is,
he picks up his violin and journeys to a little
village far up among the hills. There in a quiet
kitchen he plays to an old man and an old
woman; and always to himself he says that he
is practicing against the time when, his violin
at his chin and the bow drawn across the strings,
he shall go to meet his father in the far-away
land, and tell him of the beautiful world he
has left.
