Molded metal, lying in a case,
Has sat too long in just one place.
Instead of being polished once a week,
It never comes out to shine or speak.
If picked up, its voice would still be proud,
But no player has let it speak aloud.
Weeks and even months have passed,
And though a burning flame of desire lasts,
The player never quites gives in to temptation;
Excuses persist to prolong the stagnation
Of music poured forth from the old trumpet.
And yet...
Floating through the mind now and then
Are tones of songs aching to be played once again.

Nice rhyming here!
On the ninth line, I think it's meant to read 'quite', rather than 'quites'?
