Slow, Slow, Fresh Fount Art and Culture Quotes

Maestro Echo asks the "fresh fount" to "keep time" with her "tears." Could her tears be making music? Could nature be singing along? It sure seems like it.

The lines tell us that the "heavy part" – the sad part – is borne by the music. What's weird here is that it's not Echo who's sad. It's her song. She's blaming it on the music.

The word "sings" rhymes with "springs" in the second line, which draws a connection between the art of singing and rebirth. Maybe, just maybe, singing is the key to ending sadness and other bad things.
