Piano

Piano by D.H. Lawrence

The music takes over a man as it makes him think of a simpler time, his childhood.

In the evening, hearing a woman singing to a piano makes the narrator think of a child sitting under the piano at the mothers feet as she plays piano and sings. He returns to the present time then, again, remembers the child, himself on winter Sunday nights singing hymns accompanied by a piano. The singer in present time gets a little louder and he returns to reality and upon reminiscing on his childhood, he becomes sad wanting the past.
