Hark to that faint ethereal twang	A
That from the bosom of the breeze	B
Has caught its rise and fall there rang	C
Aolian harmonies	B
	-
I looked again the mournful chords	D
In random rhythm lightly flung	E
From off the wire came shaped in words	F
And thus meseemed they sung	E
	-
I messenger of many fates	G
Strung to the tones of woe or weal	H
Fine nerve that thrills and palpitates	G
With all men know or feel	H
	-
Oh is it strange that I should wail	H
Leave me my tearless sad refrain	I
When in the pine top wakes the gale	H
That breathes of coming rain	I
	-
There is a spirit in the post	J
It too was once a murmuring tree	K
Its sapless sad and withered ghost	J
Echoes my melody	K
	-
Come close and lay your listening ear	L
Against the bare and branchless wood	M
Say croons it not so low and clear	N
As if it understood	M
	-
I listened to the branchless pole	H
That held aloft the singing wire	O
I heard its muffled music roll	H
And stirred with sweet desire	O
	-
O wire more soft than seasoned lute	P
Hast thou no sunlit word for me	K
Though long to me so coyly mute	P
Sure she may speak through thee	K
	-
I listened but it was in vain	I
At first the wind's old wayward will	H
Drew forth the tearless sad refrain	I
That ceased and all was still	H
	-
But suddenly some kindling shock	Q
Struck flashing through the wire a bird	R
Poised on it screamed and flew the flock	Q
Rose with him wheeled and whirred	R
	-
Then to my soul there came this sense	S
Her heart has answered unto thine	T
She comes to night Go hie thee hence	S
Meet her no more repine	T
	-
Mayhap the fancy was far fetched	R
And yet mayhap it hinted true	U
Ere moonrise Love a hand was stretched	R
In mine that gave me you	U
	-
And so more dear to me has grown	T
Than rarest tones swept from the lyre	V
The minor movement of that moan	T
In yonder singing wire	O
	-
Nor care I for the will of states	G
Or aught besides that smites that string	W
Since then so close it knit our fates	G
What time the bird took wing	W
