I Heard You, Solemn-sweet Pipes of the Organ
I Heard you, solemn-sweet pipes of the organ, as last Sunday
morn I pass’d the church;
Winds of autumn!--as I walk’d the woods at dusk, I heard
your long-stretch’d sighs, up above, so mournful;
I heard the perfect Italian tenor, singing at the opera--I
heard the soprano in the midst of the quartet singing;
... Heart of my love!--you too I heard, murmuring low, through
one of the wrists around my head;
Heard the pulse of you, when all was still, ringing little
bells last night under my ear. 5
