What a sad poem this is!
Weft - the threads which are used to create a pattern in weaving.
Brede - archaic form of the word "braid"
Time has been trapped in a glistening gold and silver tapestry created by the violins and horns, the pattern mimicked by the movements of the dancers, but time is elusive and cannot be held captive.
