| | From “Carolina Wood-cuts”
I HEAR a thousand thousand tremors | |
| Of clear water | |
| Falling lacily in the sun. | |
| I hear one, two—seven shivers | |
| Of deep bells | 5 |
| Ringing under the sea. | |
| I hear a chiming of soldiers in bright armor | |
| Riding up a hill— | |
| Oh, far away, far away! | |
| I hear sweet words, silver words, | 10 |
| Musically clashing down | |
| From the tune-locked lips of lovers | |
| Up in Heaven. | |
| I hear….. | |
| Is it you, brown bird? | 15 | | | |
