Music I heardConrad AikenMusic I heard with you was more than music, And bread I broke with you was more than bread; Now that I am without you, all is desolate; All that was once so beautiful is dead.Your hands once touched this table and this silver, And I have seen your fingers hold this glass. These things do not remember you, belovèd, — And yet your touch upon them will not pass.For it was in my heart you moved among them, And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes; And in my heart they will remember always, — They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.
