If this doesn't make sense to you, just google the last two words of the poem. |  | This post has been awarded 14 stars by 4 readers. |
I resolve in a strange and unusual way:
From the darkness to light and from nighttime to day.
From despair and despondence to happiest cheer,
I bring such a brightness to each listener's ear.
And in case you don't know, or if you've never heard,
I'm a classic device called a Picardy Third.

Jan 3, 2010 | Thanks for the explanation... I had no clue what that was, but I like that song so I kinda know what you're talking about now ;-) I think I actually played that on the recorder once, or something...
