Exquisite. Easy on the heart. Rich in sound and rhyme (a la Gerard Manley Hopkins), but ready to be simple when that's what's best. I swooned and hurrahed to many of these, and will keep for an anthem, "Magnanimous, Magnificent" with its last stanza:

Ask for more music, more. In case you don't know,
what you want is magnificent, yours for the asking,
the rhythm of magnanimous exchange.
