VIBRATIONS
What
wonder if, when Love awakes
Suddenly, the tense heart breaks?
As at the organ's thundering
Snaps the lute's responsive string.
Suddenly, the tense heart breaks?
As at the organ's thundering
Snaps the lute's responsive string.
Ah, sadder heart, where Love has grown
Stealthily, his name unknown!
As quietly some soundless air
Awakes the wind-harp to despair.
Stealthily, his name unknown!
As quietly some soundless air
Awakes the wind-harp to despair.
