We are the music makers

I’ve been digging this lately, after a sunday viewing of the eternal classic “willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. With Gene Wilder of course.

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamer of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
