A quotation by Crowell, Grace Noll

The mocking bird is music-mad to-night,

He thinks the stars are notes;

That he must sing each spattered star, and be

A choir of many throats.

The earth is his cathedral, and its dome

Is all the light-pricked sky;

The pear-tree is his choir loft, and there

He flings his mad songs high.

Grace Noll Crowell (1877-1969) American poet

“Music-Mad,” Good Housekeeping (Jun 1923)
