HARP OF THE SENSES, by                    
First Line: I have heard the gentle whisper of the night wind in the pines
Last Line: And I think that earth and heaven met and kissed.
Subject(s): Nature


I have heard the gentle whisper of the night wind in the pines
As it sings a tender mountain lullabye,
I have seen the trembling disc leaves of the quaking mountain asp
Like the whispers of a lover, young and shy.
I have heard the lilting music of the tumbling mountain stream
As it hurries pell-mell on its merry way,
Like a great majestic symphony, now thundering, now soft,
Echoes of a heavenly choir far away.
I have seen the snow-capped mountains rising up to meet the sky,
Watching through their tinted draperies of mist,
In this great outdoor cathedral I have worshipped reverently,
And I think that Earth and Heaven met and kissed.
