Where Music Is

To those who are where music is
I would give this warning: do not listen long.
Sit very straight in your chair and smile a little,
Or music will do you wrong.
You may listen as long as you can remember to smile;
But when you forget, it is time for you to go.
You must be very careful, or it will tell you
Things that you do not want to know.
