Time & Brevity
The Church Organ
From Foliage (1913)
Time & BrevityReligion
The homeless man has heard thy voice,
Its sound doth move his memory deep;
He stares bewildered, as a man
That's shook by earthquake in his sleep.
Thy solemn voice doth bring to mind
The days that are forever gone:
Thou bringest to mind our early days,
Ere we made second homes or none.

Codex Note
Eight lines: the organ's voice moves the homeless man's memory and brings to mind his early days, 'ere we made second homes or none'.
